why us
American Recreation is not a typical buyout fund or strategic acquirer; we offer a different kind of exit for owners considering retirement, new ventures or growth capital.
We intend to take a direct management role (or partner with existing managers), devoting all of our efforts to its long-term success and committed to the preservation of the culture, values and founder’s legacy.
Unlike a competitor or a buyout fund, we are owner-operators with permanent capital whose goal isn’t to absorb operations or slash costs before flipping a company for profit. We provide capital to grow while investing in our family of employees.
We’re in it for the long run. Give your business a "forever home."
