Do you want to generate outsized cash flow?
Invest in Boring Businesses. Earn Tier 1 Venture-Level Returns, without the risk, or illiquidity.
Earn 25%+ net IRR by backing lower-middle market $3–12M M&A transactions in “boring business” categories across the United States through Shareholder Ventures (SHV). SHV provides accredited investors with an opportunity to drive Tier 1 Venture Capital returns, with 1/10th (or less) the risk. How? By financing acquisition entrepreneurs who leverage their own sweat (they are the full-time CEO), along with their own borrowing power (they sign the personal guarantee for the loan to buy the business). SHV invests $250k–$1M per deal, and typically receives our principal back with 10–15% interest within 2–4 years, and then retains 15–20% ownership in the business and quarterly dividends (plus upside on equity appreciation/loan paydown toward future merger consideration).
SHV handles everything for you:
- Vets Acquisition Entrepreneurs and deals
- Performs in-depth diligence (background + reference checks)
- Negotiates better bank interest rates
- Provides network, perks, and CEO support
- Manages accounting, finance, and back office functions
- Ensures correct books, on-time quarterly dividends and annual K1s
“In order to outperform, by definition, you have to depart from the crowd. You have to hold a different position.”
