Characteristics and Criteria

Vested For Growth invests in existing New Hampshire based companies with solid growth plans, a strong management team, and superior products and markets. Typical prospects have $2 million to $20 million in annual sales, 10 to 200 employees, and gross profit margins of 25% or higher.

VFG also requires that a business naturally have a range of employment opportunities, from entry-level, perhaps for those without a four-year degree, to advanced positions.

VFG finances companies turned down by the banks for reasons such as:

• Hiccup in sales/profitability in past 3 yrs
• Insufficient/intangible/specialized collateral
• Concentration of sales
• Succession
• Bankruptcy

VFG provides financing to companies who can't get or don't want additional equity for reasons such as:

• No clear exit plan
• Avoid dilution
• Market/growth projections not large enough
• Preserve freedom/control
• Existing capital structure

VFG typically invests between $100,000 to $500,000 per portfolio company. As VFG is often only part of the overall financial package, the total capitalization package including senior debt, VFG, and equity can be much higher. Also, when larger amounts of capital are needed from VFG, we are able to acquire co-investors to syndicate deals beyond our firm's threshold.

If you are a business who needs capital to grow, or you are someone who knows of a business that fits the above criteria, contact us to explore VFG financing.
