SeaView's investment focus is directed to companies with sales between $20 and $150 million where business valuations range from $20 to $75 million. SeaView seeks to acquire both privately-held companies and divisions of large corporations that possess meaningful market share, brand or product uniqueness, and growth opportunities. As former owners and senior executives of companies, the partners of SeaView realize that the quality of management has the most significant influence on the ultimate success of a business. Our primary investment strategy is to buy and build middle market companies with management. SeaView seeks controlling or substantial interests in each of its portfolio companies.
