The Shotgun Fund® will purchase common shares from departing shareholders when a shotgun clause or buy-sell agreement has been executed. We believe that owner/managers are the best valuators of their business. So when one is either willing to trigger a shotgun clause or has received notice that such an agreement has been triggered, the best indication of value has been given — an insider has declared his price. And we’re ready to respond quickly: we can close transactions in less than 5 days of first making contact. Financing a shotgun transaction need not require additional debt. The Fund will partner with existing shareholders, which minimizes stress on the company’s financial health.
