The latest and greatest....

A firm that owns luxury retail stores and makers of luxury products is looking for companies in Southern California for a quasi-rollup. Revenues as low as $20 million may be interesting to the firm.

The owner of a business tied to the recreational vehicle space is looking to recapitalize his firm on a modest level.

An Oregon-based hedge fund that operates an innovative firm in the medical billing space in aggressively courting investors in Southern California for fixed-income investments in the 9% to 11% range.

The owner of an MMA-themed fitness facility in the Inland Empire is looking for modest capital to prove his concept with a second location and then set-up regional and national expansion.

A highly successful entrepreneur from the furniture business has turned his attention to the foreclosure and property management business and is looking for a No. 2 -- a bilingual finance executive with an entrepreneurial background and some experience in real estate would be ideal.
