Greymont’s take

How New Heritage Capital fits a seller

New Heritage suits founders who want a large payout but are not ready to hand over the business. Under the Private IPO, the owner takes most of the value in cash, rolls about 20% of the proceeds back in, and keeps majority voting control and board seats. New Heritage puts in about two-thirds of the equity, half as common stock alongside the owner and half as preferred stock with a 10% return paid at exit. It also offers an incentive pool of up to 25% for the founders and leadership team. Its August 2026 deals with Carepoint and PowerRail and its December 2024 JA Moody deal all used this structure.

An owner should model how the preferred stock and its return affect their share of the proceeds at exit, and ask which protective rights New Heritage keeps even though the owner holds voting control.

Questions owners ask

What is the New Heritage Private IPO?

It is the firm's main deal structure. Owners can take up to 80% of enterprise value in cash at closing, reinvest about 20% of their proceeds, keep 51% of the voting control and a majority of board seats, and own up to half of the company at exit.

IT services is one of its named business services targets. It invested in Stratus, which provides IT managed services and system implementations for property and casualty insurers, in 2023 and sold it to Infosys in April 2026.
