OUR DIFFERENCE
Unlike a private equity fund or a strategic buyer, Collingwood Capital is committed to an entrepreneurial vision of the future of the business we acquire. We create value through hard work and long term growth which provides new opportunities for employees while delivering increased value to customers. We are also flexible in structuring the transaction in a multitude of ways that meet the financial and personal needs of the seller
