Hornet Capital only invests in situations where we can add value. Our transactions generally take the form of an acquisition, with our equity component ranging from $100,000 to $2 million. Hornet Capital generally looks at acquisitions in the following arenas: Private company sale: Lack of infrastructure and other inherent risks common to small business pose many problems for the purely financial buyer. Our hands-on approach and proprietary managerial tools make Hornet Capital the ideal suitor for this marketplace. Corporate divestiture: An acquired business or spun-off product line often lacks its own operating infrastructure and systems. This often limits the field of potential acquirers to other industry players and/or requires long and cumbersome transition agreements. Once again, our proprietary tools and expertise enable Hornet Capital to overcome these problems in relatively short order. Growth financing: Growth of a small business can often lead to decreased profitability and liquidity problems. Our investment model is designed to overcome this problem by uncovering and achieving optimal performance throughout the growth phase. Turn around: Weak financial performance is often caused by a rapidly changing environment and limited management tracking systems. Our software systems and managerial expertise enable our firms to sidestep hidden operational barriers and return a business to profitability.
