Private Equity
Newport Acquisition, a private equity investor, provides early stage capital investment funds for promising, forward-thinking companies. While our current investment focus targets the addiction industry, healthcare industry, Cannabis, and Vape industries, we are not limited to these industries.
We focus on investing in well-managed companies. While your leadership team does not have to be complete we need to know that the company has the ability to attract talent. The existing leadership needs to be comprised of smart, committed, creative and resourceful professionals who are willing to accept our business counsel and allow outside management if necessary. Additionally, the size and growth of the market is crucial to a company’s success and impacts the ultimate size of the ROI. Therefore, markets must have the potential for substantial expansion. Growth needs to come from an increased demand rather than gains in market shares.
The product or service being offered must be unique and serve a genuine need in a cost effective manner. Newport Acquisitions looks for products and services that possess real value or satisfy a need without requiring a significant change on the part of the purchaser or end user. Newport Acquisitions is looking for preeminence. The entrepreneurs we invest in possess a fundamental and detailed understanding of the competitive matrix in which their business operates. We need to be assured the company has, or potentially could have, dominance in their market.
Many entrepreneurs demonstrate passion, belief, and vision, yet for most “Seed” investors, that’s not enough. There are critical components that must exist to attract investment capital. Newport Acquisitions is currently funding “Early Stage” Ventures. Capital investments range from $250,000 to $5,000,000.
We are currently accepting executive summaries for investment consideration for businesses that demonstrate the following characteristics:
