Can you say something about what kind of companies you are looking for, how you value companies, etc?

Contrived example: Say a company has $1m, $500k, 100k in sales, gross & profit respectively... is that enough information for a starting point? How do marketing mix, growth, sector and other such factors play in?

Also, since it sounds like you are running these as going concerns, what happens if/when founders and key employees aren't included in the acquisition or move on? Is running companies directly an avenue, and if so, are they still run as independent units?

Lastly, do you dabble in grey areas between outright acquisitions and partial ownership?

Also interested in your terminal destination... but other comments have covered this.
