About IMCP Capital

What we are
- Long-term owner (10+ year mindset)
- Majority acquirer (control where needed)
- Operator-led governance and execution cadence
What we are not
- Not a broker / intermediary
- Not an opportunistic "flip" fund
- Not a consulting firm
Positioning
A strategic bridge between owners and CEOs: we identify strong SMEs and match them with proven operators to drive long-term performance.
Our Approach
How we work
The process is two-way: we select the right operator for the right business — and we select the right business for the right operator.
Operator search & selection
- Define CEO profile and success criteria
- Source & vet candidates (structured assessment)
- Shortlist with evidence-based screening
Matching & integration
- Match operator strengths to business needs
- Align incentives (meaningful equity)
- Transition plan + governance cadence
- Identify a high-quality SME aligned with our criteria
- Engage discreetly and align on confidentiality + intent
- Structure LOI → diligence → financing
- Close with clear governance and incentives
- Execute a 90-day plan and KPI rhythm post-acquisition
