Mergers and Acquisitions

David Surface
Vice President, Corporate Development

The Vesta Partnership Philosophy is the guiding principle for our acquisition strategy and the foundation upon which our many great relationships have grown and prospered.

Since its inception, Vesta has partnered with entrepreneurs and business leaders around the country. Successful management teams choose Vesta as a preferred partner because we share their entrepreneurial values and can provide the resources and strategic assets to accelerate growth and take their businesses to the next level. Our operating partners retain control of day to day frontline decision-making in their business while maintaining an equity stake in their future growth. Our successful track record has set industry leading benchmarks in terms of capital appreciation and partner retention across our three service platforms.

We provide our Operating Partners with:

• The ability to leverage our multiple resources to help grow their business

• Economies of scale for better operating efficiencies
• Corporate guidance with a support team approach
• Financial support to allow partners to focus on our greatest asset, our customers

Our ideal partner is typically a successful privately held company seeking one or more of the following:

• A strong partner with the strategic vision and financial capacity to help take their business to the next level
• A desire to monetize equity value for shareholders
• Support for a management buy-out
• Buy-out of non-active business partners
• An exit strategy for founders, parent company or portfolio investor
