Investment Criteria
Northbridge investment professionals have the ability to execute investments ranging from $100,000 to $10 million plus depending on a range of circumstances. In addition, our extensive network of capital providers enables us to bring to bear additional capital from co-investors and/or other capital providers to provide for companies with larger capital needs. We provide capital for a broad range of transactions, including acquisitions, growth capital, recapitalizations and refinancings.
We seek to invest in all parts of the capital structure. We are able to structure a wide range of securities ranging from a variety of debt securities to a variety of equity securities. While we invest across the capital structure, we typically seek to structure a significant portion of each investment as a debt security and to create equity features that enable us to share in a company’s upside.
Northbridge investment professionals typically work directly with companies to structure investments that are custom tailored to the company’s needs. We excel at investment opportunities that require in depth analysis, thoughtful structuring and comprehensive industry knowledge. Northbridge investment professionals seek to add value to our portfolio companies beyond that of solely a provider of capital. Our professionals often devote significant time and resources working closely with our portfolio companies to determine business strategy, assist in improvement of operations, allocate capital and other resources, evaluate expansion and acquisition opportunities, assist in their negotiating and execution and participate in their implementation of these plans.
