What We Do

Five disciplines. One accountable team.

From the boardroom decision to the plant floor to the closing table, the same senior team carries the work end to end — and is accountable for what lands.

01

Strategic planning, development & oversight

A sharper plan, grounded in operational and market fact — and a board-level partner who holds the plan, and us, accountable to it.

  • Facilitated strategy resets built on facts, not hopes
  • Annual and multi-year business plans developed with owners and boards
  • Ongoing oversight with a standing seat at the table
02

Operational improvement

Throughput, cost, and quality addressed on the floor, where results are made — not in theory.

  • Plant-floor productivity, quality, and cost programs
  • Organizational structure, accountability, and management cadence
  • Working-capital and supply-chain discipline that frees cash
03

Capital advisory & structuring

Sourcing and restructuring the debt and equity the plan actually requires — with lenders who know our work and trust what we tell them.

  • Debt and equity sourcing matched to the plan
  • Balance-sheet restructuring alongside existing lenders
  • Lender credibility rebuilt through communication and delivery
04

Interim management — CEO, COO, CFO

Senior operating leadership for a defined stretch, when the seat has to be filled now.

  • Stabilization of cash, team, and customers in the first 90 days
  • Experienced hands directly on the controls, not beside them
  • A clean handoff to permanent leadership when the time is right
05

Exit planning & value realization

Preparing, positioning, and timing the sale so the value built is the value captured.

  • Exit readiness assessed 12–24 months ahead of a process
  • Positioning and preparation that protect value under diligence
  • Process managed alongside the owner's other advisors
Industries

Defined by the situation, not the sector.

IVP was forged in industrial and technical manufacturing — and the operating discipline that fixes a factory floor scales just as well to a food line or a service business. Deal profile, size, and geography lead; sector follows.

01

Industrial Manufacturing

Intermediate products, components, and B2B production.

02

Food & Beverage Manufacturing

Processing, packaging, and branded production at scale.

03

Specialty Manufacturing

Defensible niche lines and engineered materials.

04

Culinary Manufacturing

Prepared foods and kitchen-to-shelf operations.

05

Business Services

Established B2B service platforms with room to grow.

Different industries. Shared challenges. Proven solutions. Underperformance, transition, and capital pressure look remarkably similar across sectors.

In certain situations

When the right answer is ownership, we invest.

Our advisory work comes first. But in select circumstances — where direct ownership is the best outcome for stakeholders — IVP will invest capital or acquire operations.

These situations are the exception, not the rule. When they arise, we are prepared to act as principals.

Capital is invested in the following situations

  • Leveraged and management buy-outs
  • Acquisition of a non-core business unit or division of a larger corporation
  • Recapitalizations
  • Acquisition of operating assets in Chapter proceedings or out-of-court reorganization
  • Equity capital or mezzanine debt as part of a balance-sheet restructuring

Early is better than late — and the first conversation is always confidential.
