About Us

Our capabilities

P4G can help you provide your client with the best possible outcome in their transaction. A successful deal depends on achieving a fair price for the enterprise, building trust and rapport among the management team and the new investor, and creating a path to additional value creation in the future. P4G will work with you to achieve these goals for your client.

We welcome introductions from investment bankers, business brokers, lawyers, accountants, and other intermediaries. We treat all inbound information as confidential and endeavor to provide honest feedback quickly and efficiently. We pay market-rate fees to intermediaries who introduce us to quality companies.

P4G is a committed capital fund. In short, we have the capital to move quickly on investments and we control the investment decision as well as the capital.

Our value proposition

Experts to help you grow

P4G’s leaders have real-life experience operating businesses allowing our advice to be centered on practical, actionable ideas to drive growth. Many of our team members have engineering, plant floor, and manufacturing backgrounds. In short, we appreciate the challenges your business faces and can often help bring you to the next level of revenue and profitability. As your partner, we take on activities that are less interesting to you, allowing you to focus on the most important and enjoyable parts of the business.

Industry specialists

We are specialists in manufacturing, infrastructure, industrial, and business service companies, enabling us to identify strategic acquisitions in your industry, help you recruit talent (if needed), and suggest/implement best practices while offering you unparalleled market intelligence. We are leaders in industrial/manufacturing automation, cross-border outsourcing, and the productive use of artificial intelligence in manufacturing and business service companies.

Resources to enable growth

Our commitment to supporting your company’s growth goes beyond providing capital with our ability to provide a dedicated team of operations, systems, financial, floor/field management, and sales & marketing experts. Of course, we work for you and are available as needed, offering experienced hands to achieve your vision.

Valuing what you have built

We highly value the employees, culture, relationships, brand, and reputation of your company. Because we believe continuity is important, P4G encourages owners to remain in leadership roles and hold equity to benefit from the growth and value creation with us. We can also help during transitions if needed

Support team members

P4G cultivates a collaborative, down-to-earth style. We are fellow operators who work hard, care about people, and enjoy overcoming challenges together. We utilize investment structures that align our interests with the management team’s interests. P4G strikes a balance of being helpful without getting in the way of the executive team.

Speed and certainty to closing

P4G is a committed capital fund over which our partners have full investment discretion. Our committed capital enables us to make decisions quickly providing capital for today and in the future to meet your needs.

Growing value together

We encourage business owners to invest alongside P4G, while still diversifying their wealth. By rolling over part of their equity on the same terms as P4G, business owners can benefit from substantial increases in value in a “second bite at the apple” in a future monetization. Such investment promotes alignment and ensures that we work together toward a common goal – growing your company!

Solving problems

and supporting growth

Through decades of hands-on operating experience, P4G’s team has developed a systematized method of value creation. Our process, tools, and systems are easily customized to new opportunities and are proven to deliver positive results.

Our capable and dedicated team of operations and investment experts are available to our portfolio companies upon request for whatever challenges you seek to overcome. We are not just financiers but are former entrepreneurs and engineers who appreciate the challenges and responsibilities of management. We are here to help without being overbearing.
