A Permanent Home for "Small" Businesses in Texas

We search for, acquire, and operate profitable small businesses in Texas.  We work with business owners to transition their legacies to the next generation.  With our permanent private capital, we operate without artificial time constraints or pressures.  We focus on long-term growth and operational improvements for the benefit of all stakeholders.  We partner with people we trust and with businesses that are a “fit” for all parties.

In 1984, a professor at Stanford invented an investment model called the “Search Fund” where motivated, highly-trained entrepreneurs are backed by experienced advisors and investors to acquire an established business, and then operate and grow that business on a day-to-day basis as President/CEO.  Since then, the number of active search funds, and the search fund community in general, has grown tremendously with much success.   

 Search funds have three stages: 

• Stage 1: Recruit Investor-Advisors 
• Stage 2: Search for and Acquire a Company
• Stage 3: Operate and Grow the Business as President/CEO 

MP Investments is a fully-committed, local buyer and operator of businesses.  We have the committed capital needed to buy the right target business.  Our goal is to maintain and grow a business, and the business owner’s legacy, for the long term.  We do so by providing liquidity, growth capital and day-to-day management.  We are not a private equity firm or strategic buyer.
