Strategy
Post acquisition, we seek to leverage the Company’s previous strong performance and grow by increasing sales with existing customers, expanding geographically, pursing the delivery of new products and services, and where values and objectives are aligned, expanding the platform through acquisition
Who We Are
The Jean-Baptiste Group is a privately held firm that seeks to acquire 100% of businesses in basic/core industries with strong market positions, a history of positive cash flow and which are poised for growth. We provide retiring baby boomers with a significant liquidity event and a gradual transition from the day-to-day business operation to their next adventure but with the confidence that the firm they have built has an exciting and prosperous future. We ask our Sellers to partner with us on a part-time consulting basis for up to 24 months
What We Do
We are a trusted partner that offers owners who are ready to transition to the next phase of their lives confidence that we will nurture and build on their legacy. Each business we acquire is unique and we are committed to creating a bespoke plan for continued operations and growth. We take our time and get to know businesses and their owners’ vision and execute only when there is a shared vision of the future of the firm
Why Us
Simply put, we are different. We are not on a 5-year sprint to exit. We envision holding and growing businesses for the long-term which is why we focus on good businesses with strong track records of historical cash flow in basic/core industries that have stood and will stand the test of time. For us, the measure of success is sustained growth in sales and free cash flow, not simply an expanded multiple on an exit in year 5
Our Niche
We are not focused on any one industry or group of industries but a particular type of company. We believe that there is tremendous opportunity in the efficient operation of companies that are in the general industries categories. For instance:
a. Basic manufacturing
b. Staff augmentation
c. Interior design and consulting
d. Value-added resellers
We like these industries and have a strong preference for those firms with recurring revenue as a result of federal, state and local government contracts
