The Right Partner Makes
All the Difference 

Selling your business is no small decision. That’s why it’s critical to choose a private equity team who is as invested in your company as you are. When you partner with Borgman Capital, you’re getting just that - a partner - with senior-level attention given to all transactions. From negotiations to implementing key investment strategies to achieve the best possible sale, we will be with you every step of the way providing expert guidance, the most up-to-date industry knowledge, a vast network of resources, and above all, honesty. 

Investment Criteria

Our investment approach is relationship-focused. We deal with people, not positions; because that’s where the true value lies. We want employees to know that they’re appreciated, be motivated to continue to grow the business, and be excited about the prospects of the company.

The Road to Fulfillment

When we meet a potential seller, the first thing we do is build trust. We do this by being honest, straightforward, and always professional. We stack your goals up against what we calculate to be the realistic amount you’ll secure from the sale, and decide whether or not we are right for each other. Once all the numbers are in, it really is just about genuine human connection. There’s no question, you’re deeply invested in your business. We want to travel this road with you. This road that, at the end of which, is: 

 

Comfort

Comfort in knowing that your team and business will continue to prosper. 

Freedom

Freedom that comes with financial gains and the ability to live your life the way you want to.

Legacy

Legacy, because the business you worked so hard for is going to thrive long after you’re gone.

What Sellers Say About Working With Borgman Capital

Buck Bone has been a labor of love from the start. We founded the company out of our passion for dogs, commitment to their health, and care for the environment. After nearly a decade of building our business from the ground up, having a respected private equity firm like Borgman Capital recognize our potential and partner with us is a huge moment in our journey as entrepreneurs.

I’ve dedicated most of my career to Technical Products, including nearly 25 years as president. It is extremely exciting to be in the position to attract a partner like Borgman Capital. We were looking for a capital partner to help us develop additional capabilities to better serve our customers, whether that be additional products, higher service levels, or expanded geographies. Borgman Capital understood our goals immediately and has a strong track record growing companies of our size, making them the ideal partner for us in our next chapter of growth.

Throughout the selling process, it became distinctly obvious that Borgman Capital was the right choice to lead Dairyfood USA in its next chapter.

I am confident that the future is extremely bright for Dairyfood USA and Gilman Cheese.

I am very grateful to partner with Borgman Capital on the future of Durex. This keeps ownership within the state of Wisconsin and provides Durex with further resources and expertise to continue to grow.

— Pat Barney (Aerial Work Platforms, Inc.), sold December 2020

I sold my business to Borgman Capital based on one big word “trust”. After two failed attempts to sell my business, one of which was a private equity firm and the other was a strategic buyer, I gave it one more try and was fortunate to get in touch with Sequoya Borgman of Borgman Capital. Unlike my previous experiences, I felt I could trust them to keep their commitments. They were open and honest in the negotiations and met the deadlines throughout the process. While others talked of trust, Borgman put it into practice and the further I got into the transaction the more I knew I made the right decision. It’s been one year since the sale and it was one of the best business decisions I have made.
