UIB CAPITAL PRIMARILY TARGETS INVESTMENTS in management buyouts and growth equity transactions. We are interested in several types of opportunities.

In selecting investments with a strong potential for such longer-term growth, we look for the following general characteristics:

Transaction Types

UIB Capital, as part of Unicorn Investment Bank, is primarily focused on control investments, including management buyouts, spin-offs, recapitalizations, growth capital, public-to-private transactions, and liquidity events for family businesses. On a selective basis, we consider partnering with other sponsors in larger transactions, in co-investment opportunities, and in under-performing operations where we can add significant value.

Company Size

UIB Capital targets the middle-market, understood as companies with EBITDA of $7.5 million or more. Smaller investments in companies with exceptional growth opportunities will be considered on an individual basis.

Investment Size

$15 million to $75 million of equity in each transaction.

Industry Focus

Healthcare, technology, manufacturing, business services, consumer products, and oil & gas.

Management Team

UIB Capital looks for management teams with a demonstrated ability to develop and execute a strategic growth plan, while promoting a culture of innovation and quality.

Exit Strategies

Strategic and financial buyers, as well as through partial liquidations and initial public offerings (IPOs).

UIB Capital's long-term objective is to invest in lower middle-market companies. We may also consider larger investment transactions in companies with high growth potential or underperforming operations, through co-investments with our strategic partners.
