Our Difference
Majority funded with personal capital and committed to operating a single business for the long term.
Sweet City Capital is funded by personal capital. When compared to a buyer who raises capital post LOI, we can offer a higher certainty of closing during the transaction.
We aren't driven by investor preferences or a need for an exit. We are looking to operate and build upon an established business, adding our own contribution to the culture of entrepreneurship in Western Canada.
– Long Term Focus –
Our intent is to own a business to build value over the long term. We are not private equity - we want to build value through sustainable growth, not aggressive cost-cutting.
– Committed –
We focus on a single business, not a portfolio. Our time and our capital will be fully committed to the business we acquire.
– Flexible –
We aren't restricted by board mandates or investor criteria. Whether you prefer to stay involved, maintain some ownership, or fully exit - we can design a succession plan that works for you.
– Passionate –
Above all, we're excited by the opportunity that entrepreneurship brings. We bring new energy to get things done with support from strong advisors in our corner.
