Business Description

UMA serves a diverse customer base including specialty retail stores, furniture stores, discount stores, distributors, and non-traditional home décor retailers throughout the United States.
Transaction Overview
Long Point Capital invested in UMA through a leveraged recapitalization structure, where the owners of the Company monetized the majority of the illiquid value contained in their business, while continuing to retain a significant ownership interest in the Company and maintaining operational control along with the existing management team.
Post-Transaction
UMA has continued its strong growth by adding new product categories and higher-end products, and expanding its international distribution. As a step to achieving liquidity for its investors, Long Point has sold the Company to a newly-formed ESOP while retaining a significant investment in the Company.
Add-On Acquisition Criteria
UMA is seeking acquisitions of niche companies of any size that sell complementary products while expanding the Company’s customer base.
