Branford believes that a good partnership is good business. We work collaboratively with portfolio company management teams, building close, transparent relationships based on mutual respect and strong corporate governance.
We actively support management by identifying key value drivers to improve company performance and structuring performance-based incentives that align management’s interests with those of shareholders.
By combining experienced management teams with Branford’s financial, strategic, and operational expertise, we have consistently enhanced the value of our portfolio companies.
Our principals have closed hundreds of private market transactions, some exceeding $1 billion in value. We typically require a control stake post-transaction but work closely with management teams and prior owners to structure flexible, tailored deals—including encouraging equity rollovers—to align incentives and meet stakeholder needs.
With experience across hundreds of companies, we bring a deep well of knowledge to support growth. Post-close, we work closely with management to enhance operations, always starting by listening to those who know the business best—its executives.
Our principals have closed hundreds of private market transactions, some as large as $1 billion in transaction value.
Branford typically requires a control stake in a business post-transaction, but encourages management teams and prior owners to re-invest equity in the company and can structure highly tailored and flexible transactions to meet the needs of all involved in the deal.
Branford spends a significant amount of time post-transaction working with portfolio company executives to augment the existing operations and to grow the business to new heights.
Given the hundreds of companies our principals have worked with, we have accumulated an exceptional amount of knowledge in terms of helping companies grow. We recognize that the first thing to do is to listen to the experience and the histories of the executives and owners who have first-hand experience running the business.
