Our Approach
Benford Capital has a unique approach compared to typical private equity funds. We understand that smaller businesses are different. We work in partnership with management to build a limited number of companies over long periods of time.
- We invest our own capital and do not have the typical constraints on size, structure or holding period that most funds have.
- We focus on building successful companies with management and creating long-term value.
- Our investment time horizon is flexible and aligned with management’s goals over shorter or longer timeframes. We currently own 12 of the 15 companies acquired since 2004.
- We work on fewer transactions allowing us to be a more valuable resource to our companies.
- We can close quickly due to our experience and focus on a limited number of businesses.
- Our transaction structures can be highly flexible based on the goals of owners. We can tailor our approach based on the seller's goals:
- Recapitalizations
- Retiring Owners
- Management transitions over time
