Firm Overview

Access Holdings Management Company LLC is a Baltimore-based middle-market investment firm with over $2.4 billion in assets under management. Founded in 2013, Access provides direct investments opportunities to create concentrated portfolios of essential service-based businesses in North America. Access undertakes active build-and-buy strategies, pursuing what they want to own: great markets and distinct business models. In doing so, Access partners, scales, and innovates to build enduring businesses.

Why do prospects want to do business with the firm?
Access Holdings takes a purposeful and focused approach to investing. The firm’s guiding investment principle is simply stated: Buy Business We Want to Own Versus Those That Are for Sale. Buying what we want to own means that through the firm’s research process Access develops a point of view and conviction not only about a market and business model but also how to scale a platform business and create enduring value. This conviction forms a roadmap that helps identify and engage with capable and innovative entrepreneurs and managers, align on a vision, and agree on a plan together before the investment takes place. Because of this conviction and preparation before close, Access is empowered to move deliberately and with discipline throughout the entire deal process and continue to directly partner with companies throughout the entire relationship. Access firmly believes that this approach to investing provides an enduring foundation for continued growth and success, with the firm’s objective always being to build enduring businesses.

Why do intermediaries present opportunities and want to conduct transactions with the firm?
All of Access’s deals are one hundred percent proprietarily sourced. Access believes that by forgoing intermediaries, they can form more lasting and ingrained relationships with their partner companies.
