Strong management teams are the foundation of Bradley Associates’ investment strategy.

When we invest, we look for management partners who have a proven track record in building a company, and a clear vision for taking that company to the next level.

Over the past 20 years, our investment partnerships have taken many forms:

We’ve partnered with families to help them sell all or part of their business, to solve succession problems, or to raise money for expansion.
We’ve helped entrepreneurial management teams buy out corporate divisions and set them up as independent companies.
We’ve provided growth capital to help businesses acquire complementary products and services, or to scale their operation domestically or internationally.
We’ve taken public companies private, and allowed management to build long-term company value, without having to answer to the quarterly demands of Wall Street.
We’ve recapitalized companies, helping them rebuild and reposition themselves for greater success going forward.
