PARTNER
COMPANIES
We took great care in our approach to finding the right partner who shares our values and will preserve the quality, reputation and legacy that the Windrose team has built. We truly believe the Al Ross Group to be the best fit for us organizationally and the best fit for our employees. Our Windrose team looks forward to a bright future, continuing to serve and respond to our clients' needs just as we have for the past 25 years.
We have established a strong presence and reputation in the Greater Dallas Area throughout our 38 years in business. The future opportunities presented to us by the Al Ross Group team made it an easy decision to partner with them. They have done a heck of a job with Windrose in Houston which gives great hope for our future. Our deal was finalized in January, 2017. A start to new beginnings!
Building multi-million dollar spec homes takes capital and equity partners with outstanding business savvy and a good deal of faith. Al Ross Group has been a guiding force in our success. We completed and sold our first home in Spring of 2014 and are in the process of building our ninth home. The importance of selecting partners who give great guidance and support, yet let you run your businesses without interference is invaluable.

HOW WE WORK
The most important question, when selling your business, should not be how much - but to whom?
We believe that a business without the people who built it is an empty shell. A machine without an engine. That is why when performing our due diligence, the team at Al Ross Group puts as much emphasis on the people as the financials. During the process we have multiple, face-to-face meetings with the management team to ensure the chemistry is there...that we can work together over the long haul. For us, buying a company is a commitment. We are in this as partners which to us means a long-term relationship with the people who built the business.
At Al Ross Group we are passionate about our partner companies. Here are some of our practices that set us apart from other private equity firms:
-
We believe in negotiating terms up front. During the making of a deal, time truly does equal money. We prefer to cut to the quick - no hidden agenda - and make timely, intelligent business decisions that are in the best interest of all parties.
-
We provide ongoing support, especially in Sales and Marketing, to maintain a long-term strategy about the business and maximize shareholder's returns.
-
We work with you to grow organically while also evaluating external growth opportunities.
-
We offer significant equity incentive option programs for key players on your team.
If you are considering selling or bringing an equity partner to your business let's start with a conversation.
COMING TOGETHER IS A BEGINNING. KEEPING TOGETHER IS PROGRESS.
