Our Difference

Chapter House Capital’s unique approach differentiates us from purely financial or institutional buyers. Corey is an investor-backed and business-trained Army veteran leader with an American dream. We seek to distinguish ourselves along several key dimensions:

  
  
      
      Chapter House Capital
      Private Equity
      Strategic Buyer or Competitor
    

  
      Level of Commitment & Support
      Full Commitment – we will take on the day to day running of the business
      Part of a portfolio of investments; board level interaction bought for diversification
       One of many business units or divisions
    

      Goals
      Long-term sustainable growth
      Maximize returns through financial engineering & cost cutting
       Cost Cutting and integration synergies
    

      Investment Time Hoizon
      Long-term
      Typically 3-5 years
       Uncertain (Varies)
    

      Source of Capital
      Diverse group of successful entrepreneurs, investor, and operating executives
      Institutional investors (endowments funds, insurance funds, retirement funds
       Private or public company assets, could be voted down by shareholders
    

      Employees
      Critical to achieving long-term growth goals
      Depends on the their strategy of growth vs cut.
       Often eliminated if the roles are redundant
    

      Deal Terms
      Structured as flexible to meet the sellers and business needs
      Determined by institutional investors and lenders
       Folded into the purchasing Corp

The Research to support the chart:

Private equity takeovers result in significant job losses, according to a landmark new study by Josh Lerner of Harvard Business School and Steve Davis of the University of Chicago.

Why it matters: Private equity regularly defends its employment record by citing a 2011 study by the same two academics.

It also finds significant differences based on the type of buyout, which is not something the researchers previously examined:

Employment falls 13% in buyouts of publicly-traded companies, relative to controls.
Employment falls 16% in divisional carve-outs.
Employment rises 13% in buyouts of privately-held companies (non PE-backed). - THIS IS CHAPTER HOUSE CAPITAL
Employment rises 10% in buyouts of private equity-backed companies. - This means PE understaffed the company to boost their bottom line.
