Private Equity

RDA will invest in private equity transactions as principal or lead investor in diverse companies and projects in a variety of industries. RDA believes that successful investments require more than capital to create value. RDA seeks to identify talented management and then works with management to develop a shared vision to create or enhance enterprise value.  

Since 1993, RDA and its affiliated entities and investors have invested in more than 30 companies and situations. RDA will invest between $500,000 and $10,000,000 in any one company or situation.

RDA’s principals have extensive backgrounds in private equity investments, senior debt placement, mortgage procurement, mezzanine and high yield financings, mergers and acquisitions, liquidation and bankruptcy reorganizations and restructurings. In addition, RDA maintains a broad network of seasoned financial professionals and operating experts who contribute their insight, experience and business judgment to management of RDA’s portfolio investments.
 
RDA generally aligns its financial interests with those of management and other stakeholders by requiring that management retain significant equity ownership.

Once an investment has closed, RDA’s principals actively participate in the management of the company as informed board members, and seek to advise the company on strategic goals. In addition, RDA will bring to bear its contacts and resources to maximize cash flow and enterprise value. While not participating in day-to-day operations, RDA works closely with management to ensure that the business is provided with sufficient capital to implement short-and long-term strategies. Additional financing will be considered through equity participation or debt placement, should internal or acquisition opportunities arise to further enhance and accelerate growth.
