Great Plains Holdings, Inc. (GTPH) Focuses on Acquiring Privately-Held US Companies

When LILM, Inc. changed its name to Great Plains Holdings, Inc. in December 2013, the firm did so to reflect its new direction—a shift from its retail beginnings to investing through subsidiary acquisition. Until then, Great Plains’ business operations were run through LiL Marc, Inc., a subsidiary which produces and sells toilet-training devices for young boys. Once Great Plains added Ashland Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary which develops, invests, owns, and manages commercial real estate properties, to its portfolio, it diversified its business model, achieving more than one revenue stream and adding to its collection of hard assets.

Now Great Plains’ is firmly focused on rapid growth and concentrates on gaining controlling stakes and ownership interests in small to middle market companies. The company looks to invest in a range of industries from manufacturing and distribution to business services and consumer products. The company is especially interested in acquiring profitable businesses privately-owned by baby boomers approaching retirement age or looking to retire.

Great Plains has found that the owners of privately-held companies often have trouble finding suitable buyers when they wish to sell or reduce the holdings of their company. Should they sell directly to a private party, they rarely get top dollar. When Great Plains makes an acquisition, however, it is usually in the form of common stock and this allows the owner to sell the stock in the open market for much higher return.

As Great Plains continues to implement its expansion strategy and add additional subsidiaries to its holdings, its management will thoroughly review all potential purchases to ensure they meet the company’s stringent requirements. Ideally, an acquisition candidate will:

•        Be an established company based in the US;

•        Have a significant share of the market in a niche industry;

•        Have a solid, tested management team;

•        Have low technology or product obsolescence risk; and

•        Have substantial growth potential.
