Relationship-Focused Approach
Business Transition and Sale Process
You’ve worked tirelessly to grow your business. By deciding who to sell to, you’re turning the page to the next chapter of its legacy. We know how important that is, which is why we make sure any business we acquire can thrive long-term, under conditions that meet the seller’s goals and ours. In situations where real estate is part of the business transition, our integrated approach helps owners transition their business and property in a single transaction, simplifying the process by working with one buyer.
There are many exit strategies to consider, but only one ideal way to sell your business. Whether you’re looking to retire with peace of mind, take a step back, or propel your business to new heights with a strategic partner, we’ll work together to find the ideal path forward.

Real Estate Solutions
Not every private equity firm specializes in real estate, and not every real estate firm has operational expertise. Our integrated approach brings an operational lens to every real estate transaction, helping property owners, business owners and developers achieve their goals. We know what it’s like to operate a business, and we encourage real estate solutions that drive efficiency and profitability including sale leasebacks and expansion projects.
Our Track Record
Success Stories
Founder Pat Barney chose Borgman Capital as successor of his 41-year old business, Aerial Work Platforms (AWP), and associated real estate. AWP’s continued growth was driven by strategic equipment purchases, diversifying product offerings, and expanding market share.
Working with Borgman Capital
"I sold my business to Borgman Capital based on one big word - trust. While other potential buyers talked of trust, Borgman Capital put it into practice and the further I got into the transaction the more I knew I had made the right decision."
"After nearly a decade of building our business from the ground up, having a respected private equity firm like Borgman Capital recognize our potential and partner with us is a huge moment in our journey as entrepreneurs."
