Over the years, business (like life) has proven there is no single path to success. We have seen and participated in various ways in many ventures that realized growth and prosperity by combining the right components. In our wonderful USA, the right people with drive and a sense of opportunity can achieve extraordinary results.
StoneBrook provides a systematic means by which unique opportunities can be assessed and resolved. Although we do not aggressively pursue the following alternative opportunities, we may consider situations including:
- Helping an entrepreneur get started. Although many of these self-starters will not make it, a few will. We find such successes to be very rewarding for all involved.
- Aiding a company in distress. Although StoneBrook does not consider itself to be the best party to fix most turn-around situations, a special few may fit particularly well.
- Facilitating an ownership transition. Even if there is not a majority ownership opportunity for StoneBrook, we may help an entity transition to an owner of its choice. We have a tremendous amount of experience in setting up situations that work, identifying hidden pitfalls, dealing with immense complexities, financing transactions (debt, sub-debt and equity) and in facilitating post-close transitions. We do very well in these situations and truly enjoy seeing these difficult tasks completed well.
- Small real estate projects. Nothing big or flashy, just a few small projects that really make sense.
- Facilitating outsourcing. Through a wide-ranging network, StoneBrook may be able to facilitate the growth of a business by introducing it to parties who could dramatically improve their cost competitiveness.
- Many other situations other than get-rich-quick schemes. We do not believe in the concept and will not support anything related to such a scheme.
