- Finance management buyouts, strategic acquisitions, recapitalizations,
or growth;

SCP seeks companies with experienced management teams, well-defined business
segments, strong market positions, and significant potential for long-term

rather, works closely with management to develop and execute strategic plans,
identify and negotiate acquisitions, finance continued growth, and increase
shareholder value.
