Investing in your legacy

Opportunities for your business

Vermilion makes control investments in family-owned businesses. We look for high performing businesses that care about all stakeholders. Your specific industry is not as important to us as the consistent profitable growth of your business.

Depending on your needs, Vermilion can use an equity buyout to take majority control or use an injection of our capital to accelerate growth. We can hold a minority or majority stake, with the discretionary right to acquire the balance of the equity when you are ready to exit.
