Investment and Acquisition
A flexible approach to your next chapter.
Ritch Ventures identifies, evaluates and structures business acquisition opportunities. Lock Equity is the acquisition and investment vehicle; the participating entity and terms are determined for each transaction.
Structure the conversation around the situation.
Ownership and transaction structures
- Complete business acquisitions.
- Partial acquisitions.
- Majority ownership transactions.
- Minority investments where appropriate.
- Seller-financed transactions.
- Earnouts.
Situations we consider
- Retirement and succession.
- Owner burnout and personal circumstances.
- Partner disputes.
- Financial distress.
- Underperforming businesses and turnaround opportunities.
- Other special situations.
The structure depends on the business, the owner’s objectives and the economics of the opportunity. Flexibility does not mean every business or proposed structure will be a fit.
Start with an initial summary.
- Tell us about the business, reason for a transaction, preferred exit and timing.
- Robert reviews the opportunity and determines whether an initial conversation is appropriate.
- Discuss confidentiality arrangements before sharing detailed financial documents.
- If there is a fit, explore evaluation, structure and next steps.
An inquiry is not an offer or a commitment. No acquisition, investment, financing or closing is promised.
