an independent operating partner

unlocking value for lower middle market private equity
owners & operators
in a nutshell

Small business valuations are tempting. Optimism rules. "Partnerships" meant to last years and reliant on trust form in weeks to take advantage. However, these envisioned opportunities offer little buffer for error. Minor missteps can cascade, threatening returns and relationships. Models breakdown and pessimism takes over.
Scout Capital provides a solution for resource constrained and spirit drained partnerships in need of a new leaf. Scout provides leadership, strategic and execution skills developed over decades of leading SMB transformation as an investor/operator.
Scout Capital serves partnerships not as a consultant, but as an independent operating partner. No retainers, no fixed salaries. Just long term shared risk/reward.
