We place a lot of emphasis on reputations and relationships. The businesses we acquire have a long history of honest and fair dealings with customers, employees, and vendors.
We look for businesses with consistent pre-tax earnings of at least €100,000.
We look for businesses with good returns on capital deployed without undue use of leverage. We retain healthy amounts of equity in our companies and make limited use of debt.

Are you considering selling your company?

You have built a successful business with a company culture that values individuals, teamwork, and customer service in equal measure. You're considering selling and you need a partner that respects your products, your reputation, your employees, and the relationships you've established.
Salvadori Group makes investments for majority positions in small businesses with great cultures, excellent reputations, a track record of consistent profits, a layer of committed management, and employees dedicated to great customer service.

Investment Plans — Not Exit Plans

We enter every deal with an investment plan, not an exit plan. We don't raise outside capital that must be flipped and returned a few years later. Instead, we invest permanent private capital and work diligently with our partners and employees to create successful futures for all the companies we acquire.
Many acquiring companies and funds start with an exit plan and add value through subtraction: replacing management, reducing staff, decreasing customer service, removing equity, taking on debt, and hoping for the best. We don't follow that playbook. Our permanent capital base allows us to make long-term decisions in a short-term world.
