"We were in the fortunate position of being able to select among several very favorable term sheets when we wanted to recapitalize. We chose Parallel because they brought significant management expertise and a depth of understanding that transcended the financial elements of the transaction."

Value Proposition
Choosing an equity partner to finance your management buyout, sponsor the recapitalization of your company or finance your growth capital needs can make the difference between realized vision and dashed dreams. Your financial partner should provide more than just money.
Parallel offers a superior value proposition as a partner to owners of middle market companies. A partnership with Parallel offers:
- Our leading industry expertise for recapitalizations and growth investments involving high growth companies.
- A partner who understands opportunities and risks facing growth companies and their management teams.
- Excellent strategic advice substantiated by our success with rollout strategies, add-on acquisitions and other growth initiatives.
- An objective equity partner with the primary goal of maximizing the total value of the Company.
- Involvement of experienced operators from Parallel's investment team, which serves as a differentiating value-added resource to management.
- Enhanced credibility and access to capital through our strong relationships with financial institutions.
- Value-added interaction with our extensive portfolio and expertise with over 25 growth companies in a wide variety of industries.
- Well-established, national intermediary relationships that generate attractive acquisition and liquidity opportunities.
- Stable, patient source of capital to support the continued creation of lasting long-term value while preserving the heritage of the Company.
Parallel is looking to join forces with owners of successful, growing, private companies. We understand true entrepreneurs want to create value. We believe a transition that creates liquidity for an entrepreneur reinvigorates the Company and allows owners to focus more energy on growing the business and less on protecting wealth.
