About

the Operand Group

Operand Group is a private equity firm specializing in search fund investments. For over 14 years, we have been delivering returns to our investors in the niche market of search fund private equity. 

We specialize in identifying small, privately-held lifestyle businesses with untapped potential and infusing them with the talent, processes, and leadership needed to achieve exponential growth. Our success lies in our repeatable process of acquiring, enhancing, and exiting established small businesses across North America. 

Our focus on small businesses with an EBITDA typically ranging from $1M-$3M offers a significant opportunity for investment performance. These businesses often lack reinvestment of profits, successful founder transition plans, and professionalization of internal processes. Operand has a proven track record of creating value for invested capital in this part of the market.

 

Since 2009, we have delivered compelling private equity returns to our investors. Currently, we are engaging accredited investors for participation in our fourth fund, Operand IV.
