An alternative to private equity and strategic buyers for small and mid-size companies
Who We Are
NTC specializes in acquisitions where a seller needs a tailored approach to the sale of their business.
As an acquirer of small and mid-size companies, NTC focuses on helping:
- Founders and family owners tailor a sale to meet their unique needs
- Corporations divest a business that has never been a standalone business or presents other challenges to a buyer
- Owners of underperforming businesses that need a buyer with deep industry expertise to understand value and strong operational capability to improve performance
With over 40 years of experience as owner-operators, we provide:
- Operational depth, industry insight, and strong connections in our chosen sectors
- Expertise in long-term control investments across aerospace, defense, government services, and select industrial and specialty manufacturing sectors in the U.S. and Europe
- The flexibility, experience, and capacity to offer a compelling alternative to private equity and strategic acquirers
We invest our own capital and do not manage money for others, so we do not have liquidity, ESG, DEI or other mandates that affect the businesses we buy.
Our Approach
What you can expect
from us
Long term
focus
We are buy-and-hold investors. A long-term focus underpins our culture and decision-making. It informs our view of a business’ potential, how we interact with our employees and customers, our willingness to invest in projects with long-term horizons, our emphasis on quality and our preference for resilient businesses with enduring earnings potential.
Operator's
mindset
Smooth transitions & post-sale stability
We believe trust and long-term relationships between buyers and sellers are important for maximizing the value and preserving the unique characteristics of a business. Our long-term investment approach ensures we offer continuity and stability for employees, customers, and sellers who care about what happens to their company post-sale.
We’re easy to work with, reliable and discreet. You’ll be working directly with the key principals who are experienced dealmakers & operators who can move quickly and with authority.
Flexible deal structuring and timing
Unlike private equity, we don’t manage other people’s money with strings attached. Most private equity has a requirement to return their capital after 5-7 years which means having to sell the company. We are free to structure every investment in the way that makes the most sense and creates the most value for the seller. In some cases, this means we help sellers reduce taxes from the sale of their business. In other instances, we can be flexible in how we structure transactions, including offering sellers the opportunity to retain a portion of company ownership, make a complete exit, or even reverse course if the sale isn’t working as they had hoped.
