Montage Partners

Happy Holidays from the Montage Partners team! What a year we've had as we celebrated our #20thAnniversary - we couldn't resist a 20's theme for our annual holiday party! On to the next 20! 

We know the stakes are high for the #businessowners, founders, and management teams we partner with, and we have great respect for the legacy they've built. That's why one of our core values is #integrity. In this episode of our Values series, our team shares what integrity means to them: https://lnkd.in/gBvG67aw #privateequity #valuesdriven #growyourbusiness #sellyourbusiness

This year, we're especially thankful for team members who participate in our videos even when they're nervous being on camera! Take a look at some of our favorite outtakes from this year:

Spooky season has us thinking about the stereotypes about #privateequity firms that haunt us as we strive to always take a partnership approach to investing. One stereotype we hear from a lot of #businessowners is the fear that private equity firms prioritize slashing costs above all else. We're happy to say that we don't operate that way. But don't just take our word for it: hear from one of our partners directly in the below episode of Stereotypes That Haunt Us:  https://lnkd.in/eHEB9u-r #growyourbusiness #sellyourbusiness

In the past, we've shared which advisors #businessowners may want to engage when selling their company. An investment banker is one such advisor that owners may or may not be familiar with.

Watch the full video case study on our website to find out what he was looking for in a partner and how we helped transform Southwest Data Products to preserve his legacy and protect his employees' futures. https://lnkd.in/g896ZUeS  #privateequity #growyourbusiness #sellyourbusiness
