Frequently Asked Questions

We started Evermore Industries because we know the difficulties faced by a small business in the decades after a change in leadership. Then, when we could not find anyone else dedicated to solving this problem, we decided to do it ourselves. 

More simply though, Evermore Industries is an opportunity for us to build a business with the values and cultures that we want to see more of in the world. We want to see more relationships, long-term thinking, and transparency in the business world, so we specifically designed Evermore Industries to promote this culture. 

No. There are several key differences:

1. Private equity funds are forced to sell their investments as the fund life ends. Evermore Industries does not have a fund, its capital is committed forever, so we will never be forced to sell an investment.
2. Private equity funds need to make fast changes as their performance is based on the time based metric, internal rate of return (“IRR”). Evermore Industries does not define success by IRR, allowing us to be incredibly patient. 
3. Private equity funds focus on companies and industries that are in vogue. Evermore prefers boring businesses that can stand the test of time.

Evermore Industries has permanent, committed capital from a group of investors that include successful entrepreneurs, investors, and CEOs. We would be happy to provide a list of our investors if you are interested. 

Your company will continue to operate in much the same way as it did before Evermore’s investment. Evermore only seeks to work with amazing companies, so we see no reason to make any big changes. Evermore also has the ability to add a member of its team as the CEO to help the company through the transition, but this will only happen if the current CEO has the desire to depart.

Evermore moves at whatever pace is most comfortable with you. We can go from introduction to closing in as little as 60 days, but we are also happy to wait years if now is not the right time for a transaction. We are very patient.
