Our basic investment principles include:
Potential client companies’ products should be distinctive to their competitors.
The company should be able to demonstrate a clear financial track record, as we are not looking for startup companies.
We are only interested in companies with strong current management that is able and willing to take the company to the next level. We will also require management’s financial commitment. We feel this is very important to ensure that ownership and management have the same goals, risks, rewards, and commitments to avoid conflict of interest.
We will look for a partner that has the same strategic outlook for short and long term goals, as well as an agreed-upon and clear exit route where applicable.
Monarch does not have a set investment limit, and is able to make its decisions independently and promptly without outside parties.
Apart from our business investments in companies, we maintain a real estate portfolio containing either fully or partly owned commercial buildings, a boutique hotel (beautifully renovated) and houses.
