We acquire and we invest in businesses. Sedulus provides capital and management for active owner-operators seeking a financial and management succession solution. We come to the table with the team, the capital, and the operating, legal and financial expertise to take over from an active owner looking to transition out of their business. We are squarely focused on businesses where the owner-operator is looking to reduce their ongoing active involvement in the business as well as situations where the owner would like to facilitate some ownership transition to the management team. Most of the businesses we have been investors in, we have gradually built over 10+ years. We’re in it for the long term.
