OUR MISSION

Good Partners in Good Times. Great Partners in Difficult Times.

Self Made Man by Bobbie Carlyle

Grounded In Tradition.
Guided By Core Values.

WJ Partners is an investment partnership dedicated to growing companies and creating long-term value. Since we only invest our own capital and do not have outside investors, WJ Partners approaches each opportunity as a long-term collaboration with no mandated timeline to exit our investments. We are active partners with our companies and seek to strengthen current management by providing critical financial, strategic, and operational expertise, and resources delivered with respect and reliability.

We Invest More Than Money.

WJ Partners adheres to a long-term commitment to mutual success and provides the guidance and necessary support to achieve shared goals. When we explore new partnerships, we want sellers to fully understand who we are and what they can expect. Three key investment philosophies inform our decisions.

Long-Term
Perspective

WJ Partners’ mission centers on a long-term investment outlook, avoiding financial engineering and quick turnarounds for returns. This approach lets us work with management teams to develop and execute strategic plans that create sustained value. Our partners understand our steadfast commitment, allowing operators to manage their companies confidently, free from the worry of mandatory exits or shifting short-term goals.

Respect For
Management

When parties share a vision, contribute unique resources, and cooperate efficiently, partnership can be a powerful and profitable vehicle. The ability to work closely with management teams is a critical component in WJ Partners’ evaluation process. We respect the expertise of executive teams who share our commitment to growth, and encourage their participation in meaningful equity and incentive-based compensation programs.

Strategic Support

WJ Partners does not seek to assume operational control of its investments. Rather, we work with existing management teams to:

  • Develop a strategic vision and growth plan.
  • Identify and recruit key players to enhance the team.
  • Oversee financing with lenders.
  • Identify and execute add-on acquisitions.

 

TESTIMONIALS

With the explosive growth we were experiencing at Pure Barre, the relationship with WJ Partners was critical to our success. Their willingness to roll-up their sleeves with us, while at the same time helping us think about the long term, made it a special partnership.
