In December 2008, Socius Capital helped Trevor Armstrong acquire Wazee Companies, LLC from his retired father. Trevor had been in the business all his life and had been successfully running the company for the prior several years. To accomplish this generational recapitalization, Socius Capital led an investor group that included a Boston based institutional investor and a group of high net worth individuals in providing a combination of preferred stock and subordinated debt. A local bank also provided a senior debt facility.
In January 2010, Socius assisted Wazee in the purchase of H&N Electric, thereby significantly expanding Wazee's ability to provide service and parts to wind farms, to sell and service overhead cranes/hoists and to repair and sell new electric motors throughout the western US.
