Real North Acquisitions Inc. is actively seeking to acquire well established businesses in the lower mid-market. These target companies typically have revenues in the range of $1,000,000 – $10,000,000, are well-managed, and have been historically and consistently profitable.
Our geographic focus is Western Canada.
Our investment approach is to acquire successful companies and support these investments with a hands-on, value-added strategy in order to generate superior investment returns.
Real North is sector agnostic and seeks to invest in a wide range of industries including, but not limited to, the following:
Mini-Storage
Healthcare
Information Technology
Commercial Cleaning
Real North generally avoids investments in highly regulated and/or volatile industries. Financially or otherwise distressed companies are also unsuitable target candidates for Real North.
Real North targets companies with a history of revenue growth, high operating margins and reasonable capital requirements. In addition, Real North looks for businesses that have strong management teams in place with a proven track record of success.
We are convinced that strong management is the key to business success. In our transactions, management typically has a significant equity stake. We not only look for good businesses, but for good operating partners whose knowledge, experience and skill will continue to assure the long-term success of the companies they run.
We believe our investment performance can be attributed, in part, to our hands-on operating support, which focuses on strategies to enhance organic growth and to identify and execute on bolt-on M&A opportunities. Where appropriate, we use a hands-on operating strategy to transform small or regional businesses into large, integrated enterprises through a combination of internal growth and strategic acquisitions.
