Why Ludlow Capital

Ludlow Capital is different than a typical private equity fund or corporate acquisition. We are committed to personally investing in, operating, and growing a business in Cincinnati by building on the successes of the previous owner. We want to dive deep into the growth opportunities identified, challenges the business has faced, and values the company has implemented. We want to get to know the management team and employees, and learn from them what has made the company successful and where they see the biggest opportunities for the future.

We understand that selling your business is a decision with many emotional, financial, and practical considerations. We are not going to place your company into a portfolio with the intent of “rolling it up” and we are not looking to flip it in 3-5 years. Both Jake and Ludlow Capital’s investment partners are committed to building a successful business for the long-term.


Ludlow Capital is Committed To:

  • Providing Fair Market Value

    Ludlow Capital’s offer will be based on our best assessment of your company's market value so that we can move forward to closing and quickly begin creating value together.

  • Flexibility on Transaction Structuring & Seller Role Post-Closing

    Ludlow will work collaboratively with the seller(s) to customize a unique transaction that best matches both sides' needs and preferences.

  • Legacy Preservation

    When you sell to Ludlow Capital, you are selling to a fellow entrepreneur who will actively manage the business with a focus on long-term, profitable growth and organization-building. Jake will take the day-to-day leadership role at your company after the acquisition, leveraging the foundation you built to continue growing the business.

  • Transparency & Integrity

    We will always remain honest, transparent, and timely in all discussions, diligence, and decisions. We view these values as essential foundations to any relationship and expect our prospective partners to equally value these principles.
