What Encore Management Group buys

Encore Management Group is a family-led group in Clayton, Missouri, founded in 2023 by Todd and Greg Siwak, both former L Catterton operating partners. It picks large, fragmented service industries and rolls up very small local businesses. It says it has closed more than 95 acquisitions at an average of about $500,000 of EBITDA each. That count is the firm's own claim, and it is far below the size most private equity firms will look at.

Each industry gets its own company, funded as a separate vehicle with outside investors. The firm plans $45 million to $75 million or more of initial equity per vehicle and about a five-year hold. Its four companies are LiveWell Partners (home health), Well Labs+ (medspas), Digs Dog Care (pet resorts) and SureTruck (truck and fleet repair). An owner would normally sell to one of those companies rather than to Encore itself. Encore often shares ownership: Camino Partners led investments in LiveWell and Well Labs+, and Frontenac says it founded Digs.

Greymont’s take

How Encore Management Group fits a seller

This group suits the owner of a small local service business who wants a buyer run by operators. An average of about $500,000 of EBITDA per deal means it will talk to companies most firms pass on. LiveWell offers cash and rollover equity structures, and Michigan Community VNA kept its name and leadership after its 2026 sale.

Know who you are really selling to. Encore builds each company with outside money, so the investor behind the deal may not be Encore. Camino Partners says it led the 2024 investments in Well Labs+ and LiveWell, and Frontenac says it founded Digs Dog Care with Todd and Greg Siwak. Ask which investor controls the company, who sets the terms of any equity you roll, and what the planned five-year hold means for that stake.

Questions owners ask

How small a company will Encore Management Group buy?

Very small by private equity standards. Its home page gives an average of about $500,000 of EBITDA per acquisition across more than 95 deals, which is the firm's own count. It publishes no formal minimum or maximum.

Does Encore own all of its portfolio companies?

Not on its own. Camino Partners says it made lead investments in Well Labs+ and LiveWell in 2024, and Frontenac says it founded Digs Dog Care with Todd and Greg Siwak, who serve as chairman and a board director. Encore's exact stakes are not public.

Does Encore buy truck repair shops?

Yes, through SureTruck, which its portfolio page describes as a long-term partner for independent truck repair businesses. SureTruck's site invites fleet service owners to talk, but neither site names a purchase or a date so far.

How long does Encore plan to hold a company?

Its site describes a planned holding period of about five years for each vehicle, with initial equity of $45 million to $75 million or more. An owner who rolls equity should ask how that timeline applies to the specific company.
