Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, DDR and Associates, LLC is a private investment firm focused on acquiring majority interests in established and profitable privately held enterprises in the small to middle market.
DDR and Associates deploys a direct equity fund model, which invests in lower middle market companies in the Intermountain West region. Investments include growth capital investments, partial buy-outs and acquisitions. DDR incorporates its management team into the business. This approach to investing is through a strategy we call "Engineered Corporate Structure." We strive to actively support our portfolio companies and we take an active role in the businesses.
We invest in proven companies with substantial growth potential where the combination of financial and human capital can generate exceptional returns.
Typical investments include some of the following attributes: · Companies with $5-$100 million in revenue or $1-$15 million in EBITDA · Business owners looking for partial liquidity, growth capital or a buy-out · Businesses desiring to partner with investors to capitalize on an opportunity · Companies wanting to improve their management, capital or product portfolio · Management teams with a proven business model preparing for growth
DDR seeks to achieve extraordinary results through following a disciplined investment approach, complemented by forming partnerships with superior management teams to create enduring value. We capitalize our portfolio company investments with sufficient equity to support an organic and/or acquisition growth strategy. We believe the long-term benefits of a prudent growth strategy outweigh those derived from subjecting the firm to high levels of leverage in producing exceptional risk adjusted returns.
The Operating Partners are not active in day-to-day operations of our portfolio businesses, but oversee the strategic direction and consult with our managers in order to obtain the common goal: the creation of value. To this end, we offer our managers access to a full range of strategic, technical and business advice grounded in a commitment to provide objective, fresh ideas. DDR applies relevant experience and skills to strengthen operations, improve financially and reduce risk.
