Why Invest with FlatRock?
Strong Returns
Coupled with size-related arbitrage, our platforms leverage capital efficient deal structures to reliably produce returns others upmarket struggle to consistently replicate.
Arbitrage Access
FlatRock's early entry point to the market affords us a strong opportunity for multiple expansion attributable primarily to successfully executed consolidation strategies.
Follow-On
As their initial investment begins to materialize, early stage sponsors may reserve the right to double-down on the winners by growing their position in the platform.
Assurance
FlatRock's active presence as an Operating Partner in the business gives investors assurance of a successful shareholder outcome.
Protection
Our approach to structuring platform deals prioritizes limiting capital exposure through reliable downside protection mechanisms.
Capacity
By delegating sourcing and operating to FlatRock, our capital partners can focus on portfolio strategy & investor relations.
Capital Partners <> FlatRock

Become a Partner For Future Deals
While our approach always considers cash-light methods for acquisitions, in many cases we will need to source financing, whether with debt or equity, or both.
Transaction Execution
Once the personnel, strategy and financing are in place, it's a matter of sourcing, due diligence, negotiating and closing on our terms.
Integration & Replication
Upon closing the deal, it's time to run the 1 Day, 100 Day and 6 Month playbooks for post-close integration of targets.
