Growth capital is capital used to fund growth initiatives such as acquisitions, product commercialization, geographical expansion, or facility expansion. FFC usually invests growth capital in private companies, but on select occasions, FFC has provided growth capital to public companies.
Buildup capital is capital committed to a management team to support a business plan, which does not usually have an existing operating business. FFC and management usually agree on a plan that requires the measured use of capital over time to build new operations, acquire smaller companies or some combination of both. All financial terms are agreed to upfront, allowing management to focus on execution.
Buyout capital is deployed more selectively by FFC. FFC participates in buyout transactions when it believes it has unique insight into the target company or its management team.
