NB Group Actively Sourcing Deals

Independent Sponsor
  • Actively Sourcing Deals
  • 3 Total Closed Deals
NB Group invests $10-100M of total capital in companies with $2-15M+ of EBITDA. Our preference is for control (51%+ ownership) or significant minority recapitalization, but we are flexible and customize every transaction. While we do not look to operate companies day-to-day, we are active investors who work closely with management teams to help grow businesses. Unlike a traditional private equity firm, we only focus on a handful of opportunities at a given time, which allows us to be a more valuable resource to our portfolio companies.
