The Notch Capital Difference

Why so many family-owned companies trust us to foster their business

Whether you’re looking to grow your company’s operations, expand into additional services or sell your business and move on to your next chapter, choosing a buyer or a capital partner to get your deal done is incredibly important.

Every day, the Notch Capital team works with fuel, HVAC and home services providers looking to safeguard their value, brand, team and customers as they transition into a new stage of operations. Our investment firm offers unique deal structures and capital opportunities that you will not find with traditional banks and other private equity players.

>Here are the key reasons companies turn to Notch Capital.

We know and value your industry

Delivered fuels, HVAC and home services can be blind spots for traditional bank lenders, and the wrong investor can lead to sub-par outcomes.

Notch Capital’s team has decades of experience in these industries. We appreciate the particular financial opportunities and challenges of your business.

We support well-run teams for the long term

Notch Capital embraces a patient and deliberate approach to its acquisitions, focusing on consistent and sustainable growth. We consider arbitrary timelines, aggressive cost-cutting and a “growth-at-all-costs” approach to be short-sighted and potentially destructive to the value you have grown over many years.

We adhere to set investment criteria to identify well-run local and family-run businesses, and we value the business components – your name, brand identity and team – that have made you successful. Experience shows us that this approach ensures better continuity, happier customers and stronger opportunities to grow the company to achieve increased enterprise value.

We have the flexibility and creativity to get the deal done

We can develop creative deal structures that benefit all parties involved. For example, an increasing number of our deals involve rollover equity. These arrangements allow sellers to retain a stake in the sold business. Rollover equity means you may participate in future company profitability, defer taxes and take advantage of future value growth.

We are fluent in financial and M&A matters

Having Notch Capital as your partner in an acquisition, merger or recapitalization deal means you have someone who understands the nuances of your industry but also speaks the language of financial institutions. We work with institutional lenders and other stakeholders to move the deal along faster — and get it over the line.

Independent companies trust Notch Capital. Experience the difference of working with an investor who understands your business and knows how to get the deal closed. Reach out to our team for a no-obligation consultation.
