Our distinctive Neogrowth approach
Each business is unique. We tailor our approach to your business. We want to understand your story. We look at this process as a way for you and us to get to know each other and understand if we can grow together.
Unlike Private Equity firms who have an intent to resell the business within 3-8 years, we have an operator-led firm which will focus on generating value for the long term and has the flexibility to make the right decisions at each step of the growth journey.
Our guiding principles during this process are
Trust and Confidentiality : We will take the time to learn about you, your business, its history and your values. We understand your need to keep our discussion confidential. We will ask for your authorization before we involved any partners or third party during this process.
Transparent communication : we will be open and honest with you at every stage. we need to have frank and direct conversation to make sure we have same expectations of the potential transaction
Promptness : we want to advance diligently but rapidly through the process focusing on essential items on both side to identify a good fit.
Employee Commitment: we recognize the value of your team and we pledge to treat them with the same respect and care that you have. If you decide so, we would value to discuss with critical employees before the close to explain the future.
Long term growth: we are not a PE fund or a strategic buyer who are focusing on short term return and synergies. We focus on long term growth
