Meet the Legal Minds Behind Your Success

The investments we make in acquisitions earn a preferred return (annual, non-compounding) typically of 8% - 12% on invested capital.

Investors’ initial capital plus their preferred return must be paid back before any distributions are made to other shareholders (other than for taxes).

Investors continue to receive pro-rata distributions after their initial investment is returned. Salary increases to the Searcher/CEO are capped to align incentives.  

Investors receive equity in the acquired business with a “step up” of typically 1.5x - 2.5x.

For example, if a business was acquired for $1.0m and Entrepreneurial Capital invested $50k with a 2x step up, we own 10% of the equity instead of 5%.
