PRIVATE EQUITY INVESTMENTS

At Crown Group Holdings, we target both established and emerging hospitality-centric companies demonstrating competitive advantage and viability in niche growth markets.

Our opportunistic, yet conservative approach to investing is well-suited to management teams and owners seeking:

• A value-added partner to provide strategic and operational support
• Capital to fund growth initiatives

When considering a business proposal, we take a holistic approach to ensure alignment with and achievement of strategic goals. We focus on:

• Long-term trends affecting target markets: macroeconomics, demographics, consumer behavior, technology, and regulatory factors
• Economic value and potential for attracting customers or end-users, whether via delivery of disruptive products/services or a focus on under-served markets; instrumentally engaging in streamlining processes, leveraging new technology or developing a new business model.

Here’s what we look for:

• Experienced, successful, and ambitious teams demonstrating deep industry insight.
• Unique and compelling brands with growth potential and synergies with our portfolio companies.
• Scalable business models that create high barriers to entry and a competitive advantage.
• Sustainable competitive advantage through innovative quality products and exceptional service at compelling values.
• Opportunities to implement operational value creation initiatives.
• Industries with meaningful barriers to entry and attractive return on invested capital.
