  Encore One, LLC (“Encore”) is a 20-year old family owned Minneapolis-based diversified holding company that invests in leading U.S. based lower middle-market companies and their management. We look to partner with companies that have (i) ethical and capable owners and management teams with excellent long-term performance records and the desire to continue to build the company and share meaningfully in its success (ii) strong competitive positions (iii) attractive growth opportunities and (iv) history of generating annual cash flow (EBITDA) in excess of $4MM. Encore One is related to a multi-generational family business with a 65-year history. Encore One provides patient long-term growth capital to other family businesses and future generations of management. We are committed to taking excellent care of the companies we acquire through prudent capitalization and reinvestment. Encore is a well-funded experienced direct investor with not only its own ample equity capital, but also with strong financing relationships. Encore’s independence, proprietary capital and available resources allows for maximum structural flexibility and long-term approach. We believe we can be an ideal partner for the seller that wants to realize the value of their business while protecting his or her legacy, employees, company and community. For the right partnership, we believe our approach compares favorably to traditional equity funds or industry consolidators.Our portfolio companies (i) provide commercial security and facility services (including janitorial, building maintenance, specialty property, and HVAC services) (ii) distribute parts and provide repair and maintenance services for commercial foodservice equipment (iii) and provide IT staff augmentation and consulting. These businesses have grown organically and through more than 45 follow-on acquisitions, and now serve customers across the U.S. Show less
