Investment Philosophy:
We create long-term value through thesis-driven investments, operational excellence, and regional platform strategies. Partnering with high-potential entrepreneurs and business owners, we invest in middle-market companies in high-growth sectors with the ambition to build market-leading businesses.
Andean Region Middle-Market Private Equity
We focus on acquiring controlling stakes in high-growth companies across the Andean region, targeting businesses with strong fundamentals, clear market leadership, and significant value creation potential. Following acquisition, the Colca investment team takes an active role, working closely with management to accelerate growth, optimize performance, and create lasting value for all stakeholders.
WHAT WE OFFER
- Control-oriented transactions with 75% to 100% ownership stakes.
- Flexible deal structures tailored to the Seller’s specific objectives.
- Access to resources that fast-track growth plans
- Possibility to carve out family-owned real estate, structure brand royalty agreements, include additional performance-based payments, and offer rollover equity—optionally combined with put/call arrangements—to align long-term incentives between Colca Capital and the Seller.
- Streamlined, confidential process typically completed within 90 to 120 days from NDA execution and receipt of initial company information.
Industry Criteria
We focus on industries with resilient fundamentals, scalable dynamics, and favorable structural attributes that support long-term value creation. Key characteristics include:
- Recurring Revenue Model: Contractual B2B income streams from blue-chip clients, ensuring revenue visibility and stability.
- Attractive Market Size: Exposure to large addressable markets growing at or above the pace of national GDP.
- Fragmented Landscape: High fragmentation allows for value creation through consolidation and operational improvement.
- High Barriers to Entry: Industries protected by regulatory, technical, or operational challenges that deter new entrants.
- Value-Added Offerings : Solutions critical to customer operations but representing a small portion of overall spend.
- Low Disruption Risk: Sectors with limited exposure to technological disruption, regulatory shocks, or rapid market shifts.
