Value Creation

sNH Capital Partners

Creating Value for Business Owners

We partner with founder and executive teams in our portfolio companies in a wide variety of ways. Some management teams prefer to act largely autonomously, while others prefer to partner very closely in strategy setting and operational transformation.

In all cases, our portfolio company executives have access to a number of thought-partners and resources via their relationship with SNH. Whether it’s partnering directly with our investment team on growth strategy or acquisition opportunities, or engaging with our in-house consultants, SNH offers tremendous support and counsel to executive teams as needed to drive value.

SNH’s strategic capabilities, including its in-house Business Strategy & Transformation Team, have achieved significant value creation across the portfolio by:

Developing, implementing, and monitoring a systematic operating model partnering with senior portfolio company management
Creating a strategic framework, building the supporting analytical capability, and developing finance and business intelligence measurement systems
Balancing opportunities for capital deployment to create growth across both organic and inorganic channels and helping to prioritize based on expected return
Identifying and executing new sales strategies and customer support plans
Improving margin expansion through business process optimization, revenue expansion, and strategic procurement
Filling top talent needs through direct executive recruiting

Board of Directors

Strategic Guidance and Oversight

In some cases, leaders desire a board of directors to help provide guidance and thought partnership through the value creation journey. SNH assists leaders in developing the right board for their business, which may include leading industry experts, entrepreneurs, founders, former owners, and corporate executives, offering multiple decades of leadership experience and industry-specific insights and resources.
