Investment Criteria

J T Enterprises is focused on identifying attractive investment opportunities in niche manufacturing, distribution and service businesses that offer both operating stability and significant growth potential.

Transaction Situations

J T Enterprises carve outs/divestitures

To date, J T Enterprises has acquired 8 divisions of large / public corporations. We are therefore very experienced in working closely with the various personnel within a corporation to effect a smooth and efficient transaction. We structure Transition Service Agreements with the intention of minimizing the time period and required support needed while we extricate the business from its former corporate parent.

Private company sales

We believe the heart and soul of our nation’s economy is its entrepreneurial spirit and those business leaders who start and run their own companies. J T Enterprises values the legacy and success of those businesses, and we seek out acquisition opportunities of such companies where we can carry on the momentum of a private owner while minimizing change and disruption.

Management buyouts

Often a change of business ownership begins with an executive or management team that desires to acquire and operate a business. J T Enterprises looks to partner with experienced management in these types of situations to provide both capital and overall support to reach a successful purchase and post-closing transition.

Shareholder buyouts

When the timeframes and goals of multiple shareholders don’t align, J T Enterprises can work with existing shareholders to purchase ownership from departing shareholders and allow for general management/ownership continuity.
