Marlin Equity Partners
Marlin Equity Partners is a private equity firm focused on providing corporate parents, shareholders and other stakeholders with tailored solutions that meet their business and liquidity needs. Marlin primarily invests in businesses that are in the process of undergoing varying degrees of operational, financial or market-driven change where our capital base, industry relationships and extensive network of operational resources will significantly strengthen a company's outlook and enhance value.
Having successfully acquired and managed businesses with revenues in excess of $3 billion, our principals have developed a disciplined investment approach aimed at satisfying sellers' needs in complex or challenging situations where speed and certainty are a priority. Whether a business founder or shareholder is looking to monetize his or her ownership stake, a management group seeks capital to facilitate a management buyout (MBO) or a corporate parent wants to shed a non-core or underperforming asset, Marlin provides sellers with transition capital and experience that allow transformation to take hold. Marlin primarily seeks to invest in mature businesses with identifiable revenue streams that are operating through a transitional period, whether driven by industry, sector or company forces. These transitions are typically the result of technological shifts, product evolution, end-market or supply chain pricing pressures, management changes, or industry consolidations, expansions or rationalizations.
Building long-term value is the core of Marlin's investment strategy. Accordingly, Marlin seeks to partner with outstanding management teams to stabilize, strengthen and grow its portfolio companies. In addition to capital, the Marlin team provides a network of strategic resources and relationships that helps management teams weather challenging transitions and recognize long-term value opportunity within their businesses. In cases where growth through acquisition is appropriate, Marlin brings to bear extensive resources to manage the transaction and integration processes.
