Management interventions

The executive management in High Street Capital all come from a background of hands-on management. We have had considerable success in running companies across a variety of sectors over many years.  Specifically, this experience has been in the following areas:

  • Contracting – process engineering and road surfacing

  • Manufacturing – cosmetics, detergents, and a variety of engineering type products

  • Distribution of agency related products – direct selling and marketing

  • Media – primarily in film and related service industries

  • Education – in the digital space

  • Acquisitions, mergers and sales of businesses

  • Financial management including recapitalizations, cost optimization and leveraging

  • General management including human resources, marketing and sales

We identify businesses with short term challenges and we actively work with management in a hands-on day-to-day capacity to optimally position the company going forward.  A critical part of this process is often to identify and develop succession management to allow High Street executives to hand back responsibility to management.

High Street Capital generally charges a below-market related fee as and an option to share in the performance based upside.

Investments in smaller companies

High Street Capital acquires equity stakes in smaller, high growth companies.  These are generally new companies with big growth opportunities or established companies that have the potential to grow to a new level.

The High Street Capital involvement will typically be via the provision of capital funding and strategic management support. Fees may be waived depending on the size of the company involved.

We look for ambitious management and good strategic positioning. Again, we prefer to focus into areas where we have experience, contacts and sector knowledge.

Traditional Private Equity Investments

High Street Capital also invests in quality companies that do not necessarily need executive intervention.  Sector preference is based on our prior experience with the emphasis on growth, strong cash flows and quality management.
