Oak Lane approach

Oak Lane’s approach, while creative and flexible, is also calculated, systematic and, most of all, proven … over decades of experience and across industries, geographies and situations.  Oak Lane’s team works hand-in-hand with management teams to achieve measurable, lasting change with demonstrable financial impact.
Value is not defined by price alone
Oak Lane crafts an optimal deal structure by formulaically balancing purchase consideration, capital investment requirements, timing urgency, management upside and embedded transaction risks.
Stability is more than strong financials.
Oak Lane institutes clear performance metrics, tracking systems, standardized cost measures, streamlined operational and financial processes and embedded focus on continuous improvement to ensure long-term stability.
Position for results, not exposure.

Oak Lane edge

Overcoming business challenges, resolving complex situations and addressing suitable growth prospects requires more than just capital, it requires an experienced and proven partner.
Value is not defined by price alone
Oak Lane managers each investment individually and does not have defined holding periods, scripted exit scenarios, structure/size limitations or complex decision-making processes.
Stability is more than strong financials.
Oak Lane prides itself on innovatively structuring each investment to meet the needs of all stakeholders. While there may be temptation to force-fit every investment into a standardized template, Oak Lane exhausts its debt and equity expertise to craft the "deal" that best fits the situation and dynamics.
Position for results, not exposure.
Oak Lane's proven operators possess deep industry experience, operational expertise, functional capabilities and financial intelligence.
Growth beyond revenues creates upside.
With decades of experience leading large companies and advising
smaller innovative enterprises, Oak Lane's Partners and Advisors have built strong and vast business, commercial, political and social
networks that they actively access to help each portfolio company advance its strategic objectives.
