Strategy
Invision Capital’s “Flexible Capital” strategy allows us to tailor investments to align with the capital needs of a business throughout its life cycle. Invision can structure capital as senior debt, mezzanine debt, equity or preferred equity, and provide varying types of follow-on capital to meet the evolving needs of a business. By growing alongside our partner companies, even as their capital needs change, we eliminate management’s need to switch from one capital provider to another. We seek to offer a value to our management partners by providing sophisticated analytical support, a resource not typically available to middle market companies, thus creating a unique competitive advantage. We believe that our approach allows us to deliver superior value and growth to stakeholders at all levels of the business.
