Our
Investment Strategy
DARR
is a middle market investment firm
that invests in established businesses that have substantial
growth opportunities. These established businesses act as strategic
partners and can range from a large corporation to a small private company
as long as they have a unique market position or strategic assets. DARR
may invest directly in a parent company, or spin-off, but in all cases
seeks to have the strategic partner as a significant investor. We invest in companies that range in size from 5
million in revenue to 500 million.
We have simple criteria for our
investments.
Global is in our name - we
recognize the changing economics of globalization. Our relationships and
interest span the world as we seek the best competitive advantage and new
markets for products and services.
What kind of companies do we look for?
- Profitable
- Have a significant
market share in a niche or region.
- Have an experienced
management team who is committed to partnering with us and building
the business.
- Clear
opportunity for growth.
We
look for companies with revenues from 5 million to 500 million in a
segment of an industry that is clearly growing.
We
look for companies whose management is committed to continuous
improvement in margins and increase in the enterprise value.
We
look for platforms that can be the keystone to growth by acquisition.
We
will invest as little as 1 million and as much as 40 million in the right
company.
Within these
companies we look for managers. People who have integrity. People who
understand that collaboration breeds the best ideas. People who
communicate constantly. People who understand that we respect and value
every employee from the guy on the loading dock to the CEO. Every one has
his value. Everyone contributes to a winning team.
