Our Approach
What We Do
Enduring is an investment holding company. We strive to grow companies, partnerships, and people for long term success.
​
We focus on investing in small private companies which play to our strengths as proven entrepreneurs and investors. We have a flexible, creative and constructive approach to partnership and a capital base which is aligned with this philosophy. We are most focused on the following types of opportunities:
​
-
Diamonds in the rough - good business with untapped potential (assets, clients, brand, technology) that a new owner could take to the next level.
​​
-
Generational transitions - strong businesses, often in business services or niche manufacturing, looking for capable, trusted hands to steward the business and legacy forward.
​​
-
Special situations - unique situations (such as carve-outs, stressed sales) where speed and certainty matter.
