Uses of Our Capital
Shareholder Liquidity
We enable founders and other shareholders of privately held companies to “have their cake and eat it too” by diversifying their financial holdings while retaining control of their business. The ability to take capital “off the table” at closing provides for more comfort in personal financial planning.
Growth Recapitalizations
Great Point Partners provides capital for growth and creates liquidity for shareholders seeking to sell a significant portion of their business, while allowing them to retain executive leadership and work with Great Point to strengthen their management team. Post recapitalization, management teams and Great Point are both equity investors – our interests are aligned and our shared objective will be to build significant long-term value.
Growth Capital
An investment from Great Point Partners allows businesses to expand more rapidly with cash from the investment.
Acquisition Financing
We drive growth within our portfolio through the financing of “tuck-in" acquisitions. Great Point Partners has completed over 75 tuck-in acquisitions for our platform investments.
Divestitures and Spin-offs
An investment from Great Point Partners can allow public or private companies to sell off subsidiaries, while empowering management teams by enabling them to obtain operational control and receive ownership stakes in companies acquired from corporate parents or other significant shareholders.
