EBITDA: $0 – $3.0M

Prefer companies with 10%+ EBITDA margins.

Based in the Pacific Northwest

We’re targeting the I-5 corridor of Washington & Oregon, but open to great businesses all over the Pacific Northwest.

Strong Culture

It’s nearly impossible to change a culture. We look for owners that have a great team of people and experienced management in place is a big plus. We’re focused on building great teams and delivering superior customer service.

Management / Senior Leadership

Generally, we prefer opportunities with continuing management and senior leadership, but we are also happy to consider an investment in which management and owners are transitioned out immediately or over a reasonable time period. Attractive compensation programs and incentive-based options for owners and/or senior managers are an integral part of our investment philosophy.

Investment Structure

Blue Collar strives to keep the structure simple for Sellers while aligning incentives for the team and management. We do this by utilizing the following elements when structuring investments:

• Cash payment/investment for the Seller

• Rollover equity (if desired) for owners/managers seeking to maintain an ongoing ownership stake

• Seller debt (when 3rd party debt is unavailable or cost prohibitive)

NOTE: We do not use earnouts as they often create tension with the Seller and misalign incentives
