Buying Good Businesses to Hold

We buy good small to mid-sized businesses, often when owners are looking to transition. We aim to be long-term owners, preserving what makes the company special, supporting its people, and helping it adapt with useful tools for today's world.

Our Acquisition Approach

Our Common-Sense Approach

Here’s what makes Cole Place Capital's way of doing things a bit different, and we think, better for the long run.

Flexible Capital, Clear Thinking

We invest through both lending and buying businesses. This broad view helps us find good opportunities and offer capital that truly fits a company’s needs, without unnecessary complexity.

Helpful, Practical Technology

We understand how modern tools like cloud computing and AI can help a business. We offer practical help to our partner companies to improve how they work and serve their customers – only if it makes sense for them.

Investing for the Long Term

We’re not in a hurry. We invest with the idea of holding for many years, allowing good businesses to grow and compound their value steadily over time. This means less pressure for quick results and more focus on building a solid future.

Partnering with Good People

We look to partner with capable and honest managers. When we buy a business, we aim to support the existing team and preserve the company's strengths. We provide resources but trust good people to run their businesses well.
