Trident
Growth Fund, LP provides mezzanine capital to successful
established businesses with exceptional growth potential
to finance growth, acquisitions, recapitalizations,
and management buyouts. We do not invest in start-ups,
project financing or real estate financing.
Our mezzanine
investment, which consists of subordinated debt with
an equity component, fills the gap between available
senior debt and more expensive equity capital and
offers companies cost-efficient growth capital and
a less dilutive alternative to equity financing. Mezzanine
capital is used when traditional sources of senior
debt are insufficient and equity holders wish to minimize
dilution in effecting a particular transaction or
business plan.
In the
current economic environment, we understand the value
of responding fast. Because of our firm’s structure
and philosophy, we are able to make rapid investment
decisions at every part of the process – evaluation
of a business plan, negotiation and closing of a deal,
analysis of an acquisition candidate, or plans for
a follow-on investment.
With
offices in Houston and Dallas, at Trident we focus
on opportunities in the Southwest, primarily within
Texas, but will explore select investments elsewhere
within the United States.
