Investment Criteria


We invest in companies which provide solid opportunities for the expansion of existing revenues and profitability.  Our investment targets are companies with

Revenues of at least $1 million
Positive cash flows
Products characterized by both a market niche and substantial, sustainable competitive advantages
A sound management team with successful business backgrounds
The potential for exceptional financial performance.

We seek investments in companies providing business services, healthcare products, industrial products, consumer products, information technologies, and energy/natural resource technologies in the Oklahoma, Kansas, and Arkansas market areas. We do not make investments in real estate projects, oil and gas properties, life sciences companies, professional or personal service firms, or financial institutions. 

INVESTMENT SITUATIONS

We pursue investments in companies characterized by the following specific situations:

Companies with high growth and profit potentials but which lack the financial and/or management resources necessary to achieve their maximum performance.
Family-owned companies which are seeking recapitalization in order to create ownership liquidity while providing for the future growth of the company.
Buy-out opportunities created as a result of the current practice of large companies to downsize or outsource non-core operations. These downsized or out-sourced operations often have very competent management teams which have not been given adequate resources to achieve their growth potential…situations in which valuable partnerships can be forged.
Companies which could provide a platform for industry consolidations or economies of scale.
Distressed companies which have been either mismanaged or significantly under-managed. We seek companies with defendable market positions, solid customer bases, and solvable business problems.
