Canny Capital Partners focuses on acquiring profitable, small-to-medium sized businesses that demonstrate strong fundamentals, durable competitive advantages, and offer the potential for smooth ownership transitions.
We focus on control equity investments, typically complete buyouts.
Industry agnostic.
$500k - $1.5M EBITDA. Strong cash flow and profitability for at least the three most recent years.
Do not need management in place, but there has to be the potential for smooth ownership transition.
Headquartered in the United States, although we are open to exploring foreign partnerships.
Canny Capital Partners does not invest in businesses without operating history, such as start-up, venture capital, or “re-start” transactions. Generally, we do not invest in any technology businesses. We also tend to avoid companies with “hockey stick” financial performance (significant, recent profitability growth) leading up to a proposed sale. Finally, Canny Capital Partners does not consider transactions whereby we do not have voting control.
