We understand that risk is inherent in businesses – we have the experience to understand and manage business risks and can close deals where others cannot.

LIMITED HISTORICAL GROWTH

Growth can plateau in a business for several reasons. We inject energy, professionalism, and supportive resources to ignite growth.

OWNER / OPERATOR-DEPENDENT

Founder run businesses are often heavily dependent on the owner/operator. We work with existing management to ensure a smooth transition to new ownership.

CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION

Where others see risk, we see an opportunity to add value to and further entrench key customer relationships.

SYSTEMS & TECHNOLOGY

We help leadership identify, evaluate, and invest in technology needs and applications, with a focus on successful implementation.

We leverage our collective experience, networks, and external resources to create value in our investee companies.

PROFESSIONALISM

We bring a level of professionalism to our partner companies; taking an active role to support existing management where necessary.

BEST PRACTICES

The combined knowledge of the CIEL Capital team and our access to external resources has allowed us to develop a playbook for managing and adding value to our investments.

OPERATIONAL IMPLEMENTATION

We have the necessary resources and experience to assist our partner companies with operational improvement initiatives that add lasting value.

CONSULTATIVE APPROACH

We serve as an extension of our partner companies’ management teams, providing support wherever required and allowing management to focus on running and growing their companies.
