Firm
Overview
Camwood Capital Group is an Austin based private equity firm that takes a differentiated approach through a focus on the smaller companies in the merger and acquisition market. CCG functions as a financial sponsor to buyout transactions ranging in size from $4,000,000 and above. The smaller company acquisition process has its own unique issues and complexities to consider that some of the institutional players, by nature, do not face. The Camwood Capital Group has considerable capabilities to structure these types of complex transactions in a manner that is proven to be both executable and realistic for all parties involved. Our niche is creating and structuring transaction options and opportunities for smaller privately held companies that are many times founder or family owned. For private sellers, a sale is almost a once-in-a-lifetime decision, and we understand the importance of this and how it affects the owner, his or her family, his or her estate, and the employee group.
CCG is an active, control investor and consistent and disciplined in the investment process. At CCG, we positively identify businesses whose profitability and long term equity value can be enhanced through operational improvements, aggressive cost reduction techniques, as well as both organic and acquisition-based growth.
Our diligent analysis involves a macro analysis of factors such as asset valuations, industry specific trends, pertinent public policy ramifications, and credit markets to name a few. We apply our disciplined, and continually developing, investment thesis towards our deal execution strategies. Our vision and focus is one of long -term equity value creation through growth of cash flow, instead of financial engineering, by eliminating and improving operational and process inefficiencies, and developing symbiotic relationships with management.

Insight
We are continually adapting, innovating, and educating ourselves by both the successes and challenges of our past transaction experiences. We use a prudent investment pace and meticulous oversight to ensure benefits to not only ourselves, but to all stakeholders involved; be it the employee group, sellers, management, ourselves, or our investors.

Process
The closing of a transaction is only the beginning of a long process of creating and more importantly; sustaining equity value.
From initial contact to close, CCG is closely involved in all aspects of the business. We spend a significant amount of time, effort, and our own resources working with and alongside management teams to build value in our portfolio companies. 
RelationshipsWe successfully raise financing for companies in very difficult circumstances who would otherwise not have the time nor incentive to access capital markets as well as the ability to effectively phase out of their business and enjoy their hard earned successes. This is done through well developed relationships with asset-based lenders, mezzanine funds, other committed funds, other private equity firms who share our vision, and high net worth individuals.
