About IMC
Founded in 1971, IMC is a private, closely held company headquartered in Raleigh, NC.
IMC is committed to being a long-term owner of a family of companies in partnership with their leaders.
IMC has an ongoing interest in adding other businesses to its family of companies through acquisition.
Because it uses internally generated funds rather than outside investors as the source of its acquisition
capital, IMC can commit its capital with a long horizon and does not intend to sell the companies it owns.
Its long-term ownership approach and management partnership philosophy
make IMC an ideal partner for the management teams of businesses including:
- Franchising businesses seeking a strategic source of capital to help them execute their business plans
- Family or management-owned businesses seeking a transition in ownership to achieve liquidity or other objectives
- Private equity owned businesses seeking long-term ownership stability
- Publicly held companies whose management would prefer to operate as a private company
As an owner, IMC is committed to:
- Ensuring that each company is led by an exceptional team of people capable of preserving the company as a leader in its industry
- Ensuring that all employees are treated well and are given the opportunity and encouragement to grow and achieve their personal goals
- Maintaining a conservative approach to capital structure to ensure the long-term viability of each company and allow management to focus on running their businesses
- Supporting IMC companies through both good and challenging times
- Ensuring that each company and its employees enjoy serving their customers and their community
