Partnering for Success

Successful Private Equity comes down to how successful you are in unlocking value. At Jacobs Capital, we believe that the opportunity of unlocking real value lies in the partnership itself, how well the partners are aligned, and through involvement and understanding of a business and its markets.

We do not sit in high level boardrooms, analysing historical results – but rather immerse ourselves in the businesses that we partner with. Through close partnership and engagement with management teams, and engaging in performance enhancing or restructuring projects, we focus on getting to the operational heart of the business to drive substantial change.

With this view in mind, we are typically drawn to investment opportunities where there is an experienced and committed management team in place that we can work with to nurture a business into discovering, rediscovering or exceeding their profitability margins.

We possess the ability to drive improved performance and value within investment businesses to safeguard investments and to offer Investees operational comfort during the investment cycle. Traditional private equity firms attempt to improve the profits and overall financial wellbeing of the company as they work towards a resale of the company. We believe this approach is often short sighted. Our approach from the outset is to drive dramatic performance improvement in the initial phase with a view to improving profits immediately.

That being said, a considerable portion of the strategic business processes which we put in place are geared towards building long-term strength and sustainability. To us, sustainability is paramount. It drives and substantiates the future income for the company, and directly impacts on the value of the business – which ultimately means improved returns for our investors.

Our team is comprised of a vast variety of Transaction, Legal, Operational, Commercial, Human Resources, Financial, Branding and Marketing specialists – most of whom boast “real world” and entrepreneurial business skills, having previously headed up their own businesses. This expertise enables us to be highly nimble and to pivot where necessary, to implement strategic business models and capitalize on opportunities.
