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.
