IMin Partners' philosophy focuses on "value-based" investing, specifically the "cash flow" potential of a business. We look for mature businesses with unique opportunities for growth. Acquisition candidate sizes will vary widely depending on the opportunity, but should typically generate $20 million to $500 million in revenue. IMin invests alongside experienced management teams and compensates management with performance incentives. Our mission is to add value to our portfolio companies by assisting management in creating economic value.

Management Process

IMin Partners contributes more than money to its portfolio companies. The Partners work with management teams to improve their business plan and will often secure outside resources, management advisors and consultants, to better enhance the success of their management teams.

Strategy

Many specialty minerals and chemical companies lack the necessary resources to achieve their long-term strategic plan. The mission of IMin Partners is to assist management teams in creating market-based strategies that will help the company achieve its strategic goals, while providing the necessary financial resources. Some strategic initiatives that are often deployed include product pricing, rationalization, divestitures, and new market development. Ultimately, IMin's ability to achieve its investment goals relies upon the ability of the management teams to successfully implement and execute their strategic plans.

Incentive Compensation

IMin Partners believes in paying managers and employees for creating shareholder value. IMin rewards its management teams through a variety of compensation programs, such as management stock ownership, stock options, performance bonuses, gainshare plans and profit sharing.

Financial Expertise

IMin Partners also serves as a resource to the finance departments of its portfolio companies. Management teams can turn to the financial expertise of IMin Partners for strategic advice on capital structure, mergers and acquisitions, major capital expenditures, divestitures and other major finance projects.
