Crisis Prevention Institute Case Study
Riverside’s experience and relationships help with a quick close
Facing a serious medical condition, the owner of Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) wanted the peace of mind of having a partner who could ensure a rapid transaction and be a good steward of the company he built. Riverside was able to close the deal within 45 days of agreeing to the structural terms thanks to the firm’s strong lender relationships and large amount of capital under management. Subsequently, Riverside helped the provider of non-violent crisis prevention training achieve rapid growth by targeting new industries and geographies.
Riverside delivered:
- Solid feedback and firm level of interest early in the sale process
- Full funding at close, with debt financing post-close
Riverside value added:
- Extensive knowledge of the training and education industry, and prior experience with other portfolio companies in the occupational health and safety sector
- Rapid growth through optimizing pricing and increasing demand. A planned UK add-on will provide international expansion and additional sales of $3 million, as CPI continues its growth in existing markets while concurrently exploring new opportunities.
Gross IRR: 36%
Gross cash-on-cash: 5.0x
