DIFFERENTIATORS

Why SRM

Focus

Our strategy is clear and committed; and we know what we like when we see it and pursue aggressively when we do.

Proven Track Record Execution

We have closed 40+ acquisitions, with most since 2019, and have the processes, methods, and focus to acquire deliberately and at a strong clip.

Potential Over Perfection

We do not seek to acquire perfect platforms; rather, we enter our desired sectors through companies with the building blocks to support rapid growth.

Operating and Business Building Experience

Personal operating and business building experience allows SRM to bring real substance to interactions with business owners, and engage with the right sellers, thus increasing the odds of a successful transaction.

Add-On Acquisitions and Integration Velocity

SRM has a proven best-in-class track record with regards to add-on velocity at SRM platforms and depth of integration with add-on acquisitions, thus consistently building “One Company” cultures within each SRM Platform.

Committed Capital with a Family Heritage

SRM is a firm with operations excellence in its DNA. We invest proprietary capital, allowing us to be focused yet flexible and expedient.
