The team at Royal Ascot has several notable distinct competitive advantages to offer you, the entrepreneur, during a succession plan, or transition period for your most prized financial asset, your company. We believe our team is unique in understanding the desires and needs from both a financial and legacy standpoint of a business owner. Royal Ascot is one of the few firms that offer a team made up of all entrepreneurs, has in-house Chief Operating Officers, and who has the investment flexibility and transaction experience from both the perspective of a purchaser, as well as a seller of businesses.
- Entrepreneurship: All team members of Royal Ascot have demonstrated a passion for entrepreneurship during their respective careers, having started and grown business in a myriad of industries. Due to this experience, we believe the entrepreneurs, managers, and employees of a business drive its success, and look to partner with existing management whom desires to remain with the company for an extended period of time. We feel an investment philosophy based upon long-term partnerships with management separates Royal Ascot Partners from other potential investment groups.
- Chief Operator Officer: We have found many times the entrepreneur or management team has grown the business to the best of their capabilities given the limited resources available to them. With this in mind, Royal Ascot Partners has in-house operations professionals to offer the entrepreneur or management team a resource from which to draw advice and consultation, in order to help the company grow to the next level.
- Flexibility: Our flexibility goes hand in hand with our desire to build a meaningful and profitable partnership. We seek to structure transactions that meet the objectives of all parties involved. Furthermore, in contrary to our traditional private equity brethren, Royal Ascot Partners does not have a specific timeline, or set holding period for our investments. We believe this enables the management team to make the best decisions for the long-term viability and growth of each company Royal Ascot chooses to invest.
- Transaction Expertise: Every transaction has its complexities and complications, and Royal Ascot is committed to working together with business owners to surmount any obstacles that arise during the investment process. Our team has both sold businesses and acquired businesses, giving us the experience and knowledge to understand the dynamics of all parties involved in a transaction. Given this, Royal Ascot has the knowledge, experience, and a historical track record of acting quickly and getting transactions closed.
