Invest with us to drive impact through small business ownership.

NMC Fund I is a private equity micro-buyout fund focused on the acquisitions of profitable, cash flowing generating small businesses from retiring baby boomer owners.

Typically, these businesses are too small for traditional private equity interest and are sold at lower multiples than larger businesses. Therefore, there are strong opportunities for growth and improvement in cash flows relatively quickly. All together, these are acquisitions of steady cash flow generating businesses, which enables the Fund to distribute cash flows back to investors from year 1.

So far, we have helped close 12 acquisitions as an independent sponsor. We typically have 30 live deals at any time in our growing pipeline of well-qualified operating partners with deals under LOI that we’d like to start selectively investing in.

NMC will meet entrepreneurs where they are at. We assess education, experience, and likelihood to succeed as a business owner, which we believe mostly comes down to grit and empathy, and we will train them in the required business acumen. The entrepreneur-business fit is very important to us and comprises a large piece of our due diligence process.

Not necessarily, but if the entrepreneur can contribute, they receive the same returns as the Fund. Generally, we love to see entrepreneurs have skin in the game, but we will not limit our impact to entrepreneurs who have the means to invest. We aim to break the cycle of “you need money to make money”. In some instances, this will be the SBA 7(a) loan guarantee that they provide.

Our impact is measured by the wealth created for underrepresented entrepreneurs and employees of the portfolio companies. Portfolio companies that NMC Fund I invests in will share 10% of annual profits with employees.
