Retiring Entrepreneurs/Owners or Estates
North American seeks companies whose entrepreneurs/owners have decided to retire, and who wish to sell their business to an organization which will build upon and enhance the owner's heritage and business. North American is sensitive to the needs of existing employees and management and is committed to working with them.

Small Corporate Divisions
North American seeks divisions of larger corporations which are restructuring. North American is willing to purchase these divisions or to provide a significant portion of the capital necessary to assist existing management in the purchase of the division.

Entrepreneurial Joint-Venture Opportunities
North American seeks companies whose entrepreneurs have decided they have too much of their personal net worth in the business or whose business will require more capital than they can provide personally. In these situations, North American may purchase only a substantial interest in the business, providing the entrepreneur with liquidity, financing, and a remaining stake in the growth of the business.

Manager-Identified Acquisitions
North American will back experienced individuals who have identified a specific acquisition opportunity and can lead the development of the acquired business into a significantly larger enterprise.
