Investment Criteria

We look for business acquisitions that meet certain simple criteria:

• Straightforward business model that is easy to understand
• Operations that are located in the southeastern United States
• Track record generating consistent earnings and profitability (annual cash flows of between $1.5 and $5.0 million)
• Strong management team in place (or new management clearly identified)
• Strong, defensible market position; and
• Clear offering price.

In addition to acquiring operating businesses, Sunbelt is interested in making “add-on” acquisitions to existing subsidiaries that will enhance the combined companies’ value over the long term.
