Small Businesses. Huge Potential.
It all began in the Appalachian mountains of southwest Virginia with an idea… create value ex nihilo – out of nothing – through strategic acquisitions in overlooked, highly-fragmented industries to realize synergies and achieve scale efficiencies.
ABOUT US
Ex Nihilo Capital is an invitation-only strategic private equity investment firm actively focused on leveraged buy-out opportunities in stable or growing lower middle market businesses. Our team acquires firms that have proven their success and are primed for the next level of their evolution. By bringing our expertise, energy, enthusiasm, and capital to the table, we identify and aggressively pursue value-enhancing growth opportunities. We generally seek niche service businesses within the healthcare industry, but also currently have portfolio holdings in family entertainment centers and real estate. Additionally, we provide capital to independent sponsors pursuing similar strategies.

WHAT WE DO
Ex Nihilo Capital is an investment firm that acquires lower middle market businesses and aims to enhance valuations with organic growth and through the consolidation of similar firms under a single umbrella to achieve economies of scale. We look for stable or growing cash flowing businesses with EBITDA in the range of $0.5M – $5M as well as acquisitions which present opportunities to create long-term value via updated business systems, new sales and marketing channels, geographic or service-line expansion, accretive follow-on acquisitions, or those which are strategically relevant to existing portfolio companies.
We generally prefer to partner with existing management to ensure a smooth transition to new ownership while we strive to build long-term value, approaching each operational enhancement in a collaborative manner.
