About Us
HH Capital was created to invest personal money into private investment opportunities. Our office is in Clayton, MO, which borders the city of St. Louis. We look for both minority and majority stakes in companies with consistent annual pre-tax earnings between $1 and $4 million. For larger opportunities, HH Capital will invite qualified investors to partner. These include other independent sponsors as well as capitalized passive investors. Most importantly these investors are like-minded with long-term ownership goals. We feel it is both enjoyable and beneficial to partner with investors that share knowledge of a variety of industries and businesses.

What makes us different?
-
Minority or majority ownership opportunities:
We are interested in both. Quoted well by the world’s greatest investor, “We are also happy to simply buy small portions of great businesses…It’s better to have a partial interest in the Hope Diamond than to own all of a rhinestone.” -W.E.B.
-
Culture and leverage:
We will continue to foster company culture and shape morale by building on principles in which a business was built. We plan to own and operate businesses for their long-term value to benefit owners, shareholders, employees and community. This means that we will not burden a company with debt and risk the constituents of the company in order to earn slightly higher returns on capital.
-
Our money:
With alignment of interests from all owners on both the upside and downside, we create a capital structure that motivates and brings out the best chance of success. Since we are not pooling investment money and looking to collect fees, we are much more selective and risk averse with potential opportunities.
-
Capital culture:
If outside investors are brought in, we look for like-minded individuals that share our same goals. Most importantly a long-term committed view of the company. These interests need to be aligned accordingly and we all would own the company at the same level and price.
-
Exit and selling:
It is not easy to find a great company. If we do and it performs near our expectations, we have no interest in selling. Our holding period is indefinite. This starts with the capital used to fund the acquisition. We are not a fund. We use long-term capital and there is no requirement to raise a next fund or sell in order to justify IRR hurdles.
