Colonnade Distribution Limited was established to provide a means by which the owner of a value added distribution, assembly, or light manufacturing company can achieve the personal liquidity required by prudent estate planning and participate in the future success of their business.
We seek to buy excellent businesses from founders and owners who are approaching retirement age and do not have children in the business. Our goal is to perpetuate these businesses, achieve long-term capital appreciation, and preserve the philisophies that made the company successful.
We are not venture capital or institutional investors with a five to seven year investment horizon. We have a multi-generational ownership perspective and hope that future generations of our existing shareholders families will continue to own the businesses we are acquiring today.
We will respond immediately to acquisition opportunities. We are not brokers, intermediaries, or consultants, and act only as principals in acquiring businesses for our own account. We will agree in advance and in writing to compensate third parties who refer an opportunity to us and act on our behalf in the acquisition of a specific business. |
