# Martell Capital Partners

Funds the search phase and says so outright.

A Miami firm investing across traditional search funds, self-funded search funds and independent sponsors, and one of the few anywhere to state outright that it provides financial support for operational expenses during the search phase. Its portfolio publishes searchers by country across seven countries with a per-country breakdown, and it counts forty-six searchers backed, thirty-seven companies acquired and three realized exits.

## At a Glance

The clearest published statement anywhere here that a firm pays for the search itself, which is the question a searcher with no savings asks first.

## What It Costs

Investment terms, not fees. No fee is charged to a searcher; what the firm publishes about its own side is in the row.

## Best For

A searcher in any of the three models, particularly outside the United States, who needs a backer that funds the search itself rather than only the deal.

## Pros and Cons

- Pro: States that it funds operational expenses during the search phase, which most backers leave implied
- Pro: Publishes a portfolio broken down by country across seven countries
- Pro: Its intake form asks which of traditional funding, equity gap or a deal under letter of intent the searcher needs
- Con: Its own per-country figures add to fewer searchers and companies than its headline counts
- Con: Its address and its prose disagree about which city it is in
- Con: The enterprise value range on its site describes what search fund acquisitions cost generally, not what this firm targets

## What Searchers Say

Named as a backer on the rosters of five separate searchers. Its own home page links a second backer on this shelf as a strategic partner, which is how that firm was found.
