Description:
Our company, Vivaris, Ltd, is building a leading manufacturer and distributor of life science tools to the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and research industries. We are acquiring niche companies with proven technologies and customers. We are in preliminary discussions with about 12 companies. We are currently raising $2.5 million from individuals to finance the start-up costs and circling $27.5 million from institutions for the acquisition financing.
Our strategy is to integrate these small businesses into one, larger entity. This will allow for cross-selling opportunities and scale economies in production and administration. More importantly, we have an excellent management team which will build out the sales and marketing, operational, and strategic elements they need to grow organically. Many of these companies have excellent products but limited resources for commercialization.
We are looking at companies with revenues of at least $1 million that are near cash flow break-even. Several of the companies have sales of $5 - $15 million and are already quite profitable.
Vivaris is located in San Diego, CA.
This opportunity reflects an attractive investment for the following reasons:
- Increase in profitability and value from aggressive sales management
- Increase in valuation from small company to middle-market multiples
- Industry demographics are driving growth at the rate of 12% per year
- Downside protection from validated products in the marketplace
- Acquisitions are capital efficient, with a combination of cash, stock, and
performance-based payments
Funding Types:
- Equity Funding (VC, Angel, PE)
- Alternative/Creative Finance
- Business Acquisition/Franchise Funding
Industries:
- Healthcare
- Bio-Technology
- Pharmaceuticals
