Celerity focuses on acquiring small and medium-sized businesses having annual cash flows of $1-10 million, or annual revenues of $10-100 million.  We seek companies in industries in flux, perhaps recovering from an industry-wide downturn, in need of financial restructuring. The Firm then drives growth and productivity by:

- Strategic repositioning of the business to focus on most profitable segments

- Expansion of product and service lines

- Market share expansion and add-on acquisitions

- Lean asset and labor productivity programs

Key to this strategy is the ability to identify companies and industries where internal and external growth opportunities exist, and superior management is either in place at the acquired company or can be recruited to execute this strategy. Celerity focuses on growth and productivity, not financial engineering, to generate value from its investments. Celerity ensures that the businesses it owns are prudently capitalized, have a sound economic strategy, long term focus and growth orientation to afford the greatest degree of flexibility without undue financial risk.

The Firm seeks out companies in which the owner of a privately held business is seeking liquidity, or when a parent company is seeking to spin-off a non-core division or subsidiary. However, Celerity does not focus its efforts on bankruptcy turn-around situations, unfriendly acquisitions, start-ups, high-tech ventures, or commodity businesses.
