Established in 1981 and headquartered in Rome, Georgia, Busmax is a leading passenger bus, van, and car rental business that operates out of the Southeast region of the U.S. Busmax has been owned by the Salmon family for over 40 years, and the Salmons will retain an ownership stake in the Company going forward.
Michael Skaff, Managing Director at Seneca, commented”The Backcast team demonstrated discerning analysis, creative structuring and a resolute commitment to completing this transaction throughout this process. Their collaborative partnership approach made them a valued resource, not only in structuring this transaction but in understanding the long-term strategic objectives to what we believe will be a transformative growth strategy. This is the second investment that we've closed with the Backcast team, and we look forward to working with them on future investments.”
Mark Gudis, Managing Partner at Backcast, added “Our investment in Busmax is centered around the Company's dominant market position, its compelling reason to exist for its customers, the differentiated operating model and reputation that the Salmon family has built over decades, and our comfort in the expertise that Seneca and their operating partners will bring to enhance long-term value. With a strong track record of growing lower-middle market businesses and an existing portfolio totaling 14 current platform investments, we consider Seneca to be one of the pre-eminent independent financial sponsors in the United States.”
Backcast was represented in the transaction by Greenberg Traurig.
