Investing in Existing Portfolio Companies

Business investment can take many forms. Hiring or upgrading personnel, purchasing additional equipment, expanding IT systems, etc.  Each business is different and has different needs at different times.

Hadley Capital understands that businesses need continued investment to succeed. Two of Hadley Capital’s portfolio companies (PSI and ISS) recently moved into new facilities custom designed and built for their specific needs. These facilities will help each company continue to expand and serve their clients for many years to come.

Occasionally you hear stories about private equity owners that stop investing in companies and strip them of assets and sweep every penny out of the business. That might work in the short-term, but not in the long-term. Hadley Capital wants to create true long-term value and we recognize that continued on-going investment in portfolio companies is an important part of the equation.
