Opportunities

We have a range of direct investment opportunities to meet your needs.

We support and assist our management partners, who derive significant benefit not only from our involvement, but also as a result of being part of the broader GGG family of businesses. As a result, the starting point for any investment decision making process, is an evaluation into two simple factors: first, will the management team fit into and thrive in a GGG environment; and second, are we able to add value.

Unlike many traditional private equity firms, GGG does not take on third party investment funding and also, the group does not invest with an exit strategy in mind. Aligned with our mindset of creating old school partnerships, we typically remain invested for the long term, with some of our investments going back over 35 years.

Unlocking Success:

Experience, Expertise, and a Global Network

Proven track record

The Gerber Goldschmidt Group has extensive experience in the process of investing in small to medium size businesses, and in providing the guidance, support and expertise necessary to grow these businesses.

Hands-On Approach

The Gerber Goldschmidt Group management team is focused on adding value to our management teams. The level of our involvement varies according to the needs of our investments but as a rule, we relish the opportunity to get involved and assist.

The GGG Network

Entrepreneurs often feel overwhelmed with the myriad of compliance and legal issues that they must address. Moreover, as they say, it can be lonely at the top.

Our partners become a part of the GGG family and - more often than not - they thoroughly enjoy and appreciate having colleagues and friends in the group that are always willing to assist. The nature of our relationships across the group really sets us apart from any other private investment group.
