Why only Virginia
Virginia is losing its largest companies and its rural ones. When a headquarters is sold out of state, the decisions and the senior jobs follow it, and eventually the plant does too. We would rather own the companies and decide they stay.
0%
of recent acquisitions in our part of Virginia were made by out-of-state buyers.
It is also the edge
Owners here would rather sell to someone who is staying. Their accountants and bankers know that, so the companies come to us before they go to market. Being from here, and only here, is what makes the deal flow proprietary.
