Partner With IMC
We are interested in acquiring businesses to join IMC's family of companies. We evaluate each potential acquisition with the following principles:
- We seek to acquire majority ownership positions.
- We do not intend to sell the businesses that we own.
IMC expects to earn above average returns on its capital invested in its businesses, and values companies on their ability to generate long-term cash flow rather than on resale value.
Companies with the following characteristics are most likely to find IMC to be an attractive partner:
- Management: Management teams that have a strong desire to continue running and building their businesses will find us to be a good partner. We expect management to have a long-term commitment to the business and to own a significant interest in the business along with us. Because we do not intend to sell the businesses we own, we provide future liquidity to the management based upon an agreed-upon valuation formula.
- Industry: Franchising businesses, or businesses interested in franchising, from any industry, may draw upon our experience to enhance the management teams' efforts.
- Geography: Businesses that are or aspire to be national leaders in their markets will find IMC to be a strong supporter. We are not concerned about where the company is headquartered within the U.S.
- Size: Companies with proven concepts, depth in the management team, and EBITDA of approximately $2 million to $15 million would benefit most from having IMC as a partner.
We recognize that our approach is not an ideal fit for every company or its management team. We are not currently considering start-ups, companies in need of management, or franchisee companies.
If you think that IMC could be a good partner for you and your business-whether in the near future or even several years from now-we encourage you to contact us.
