Partnering with the right investor makes it possible for Owner-Managers to monetize all or some of their equity and in the process, typically empowers management to more aggressively pursue new growth strategies. After taking some "chips off the table", the ownership's renewed willingness to assume appropriate business risk often unlocks incremental growth. Private equity investors have a parallel interest to capitalize the business with a proper amount of debt and equity capital since they share in the value created (or lost) with the Owner-Manager. The Bigelow Company has earned a reputation for finding the best fit private equity investor and tailoring specific solutions for each of its Clients' unique objectives.
