Our Investment Strategy

Rock Hill’s investment strategy is to seek out investment opportunities in businesses with strong entrepreneurial managers that aspire to build industry leading companies through internal growth and strategic acquisition. Rock Hill’s focus is on small to middle market companies with the following general characteristics:

• Profitability - Proven history of profitability and growth

• Strong Recurring Free Cash Flow – leverageable and predictable free cash flow

• Market Niche – established market niche with attractive growth potential

• Dynamic and Entrepreneurial Management – dynamic and entrepreneurial leaders with the management depth necessary to successfully implement a growth strategy

• Scalability – management information systems, product sales, marketing and distribution that is conducive to scale without significant capital investment

• Seller & Management Investment – willingness on the part of the selling shareholder and management to reinvest in the future of the company

Rock Hill targets companies with a proven history of profitability and recurring revenue without the requirement of significant maintenance capital requirements. Rock Hill will consider “troubled situations” that meet the criteria outlined above but are in need of capital, restructuring or other financial re-engineering. However, Rock Hill is not considering investments in operational or management turn-arounds at this time.
