Clearwood gives businesses a new future. The key elements of our proposition:
Owing to our many years of experience in acquiring businesses, we can handle the entire acquisition process ourselves. This means we can close a deal in a matter of weeks - thus reducing uncertainty to a minimum.
We fund acquisitions from our own resources, supplemented with bank credit. The financing structure is conservative, providing sufficient room for investment.
We want to enjoy doing business. We are fast in our analyses and decision-making. We stick to our goals and build open and honest relationships with our employees and business partners.
We work closely with management and staff of each business to design a transparent development plan, based on the company's strengths and its opportunities in the market. This plan serves as a compass for the business.
All our team members have years of practice-based experience in seeing through change in organisations.
We aim for ongoing performance improvement in all our businesses. Because we know dozens of companies inside-out, we know where costs can be reduced. At the same time, we take decisive action to raise sales.
We are prepared to invest in our companies because we believe in their future and intend to hold them for the long term.
We invest for the long term, and because we do so from our own resources, there is no need to plan an exit.
