Capital Z is very excited to announce a $240 million equity investment in Leavitt Group Enterprises, Inc., acquiring a minority stake. LGE, started by Dixie Leavitt in 1952, is a top 25 broker in the U.S. with offerings across property & casualty and employee benefits. It has been successful, growing both organically and through acquisitions. LGE’s acquisition strategy, using an integrated co-ownership model, is unique and very attractive to brokers who are looking to join forces with a national platform with large scale resources, but retain their local independence. We look forward to partnering with CEO Eric Leavitt and his management team to help build on the company’s tremendous success. Thanks to our loyal investors for their support in yet another Cap Z investment.

When a private equity investment firm is considering acquiring or investing in a business, it's critical to have due diligence on the lease obligations and market comparison. If the business owner owns all or part of the real estate it occupies, that structure may complicate the financial picture or impact terms of the sale. See a recent case study showing how Forte Real Estate Partners participates in the due diligence process. #PrivateEquity #DueDiligence #RealEstateInvesting #BusinessAcquisition #CaseStudy
