Established in 1996, the BG Capital Group of Companies is comprised of two main affiliates, a merchant banking division and a management company.

BG Capital Group, Ltd. is a merchant bank specializing in small to mid-cap clients with over 20 years of investment experience, as well as in-depth marketing expertise and a track record of successfully identifying promising new enterprises; our approach to each investment opportunity is simple: while we investigate opportunities within virtually every sector of the North American economy, we focus on companies which are cash flow positive, have annual revenues of $15 to $50 million and enterprises values of above $25 million. Each company must also have a solid management team with a history of proven success. BG Capital Group Ltd. is currently the largest shareholder, owning more than 50%, of Clearly Canadian Beverage Corp., a publicly traded company producing award-winning beverages since 1988. BG Capital Group Ltd. is also involved in different public companies, both as a lender and as an investor.

BG Capital Management Corp. is a multi-national business and asset consolidator focused on small to mid-cap growth opportunities, with assets of well over $200 million and annual revenues in excess of $200 million as well. The Company provides professional, highly experienced and qualified oversight to a number of the portfolio companies within BG Capital Group of Companies. In our management style we prefer to work with companies' existing management and provide a high degree of autonomy. BG Capital Management Corp. owns 100% of the Neptune Society, BG Capital Real Estate Holdings, Vancouver International Polo Team, and The Little Schoolhouse; and 75% of Neptune Memorial Reef. BG Capital Management Corp. also holds a 50% stake in the following privately held companies: Jemi Holdings, Nautic Distributors, Tamarack North Ltd., Bari Builders, and M&M Engineering Limited.

Our winning strategy has already produced a number of highly successful ventures, which include: Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation, a marketer of premium alternative beverages and products in the United States, Canada, and various other countries; The Neptune Society, North America's largest pure cremation company; Jemi Holdings, a British Columbia-based logging and land development company; Nautic Distributors, Ltd., distributors of water sport products; and Tamarack North Ltd., a development company specializing in the construction of high-end, seasonal lake front estates.

As a smaller, more agile merchant bank, the BG Capital Group is better positioned to take advantage of hard to find market opportunities. Our vast network of business contacts and relationships throughout North America and around the world provide the starting point. But even more importantly is the management expertise we dedicate to each venture. This includes over 20 years of investor relations experience, as well as in-depth marketing and financial management. It's the kind of support that many venture capital firms and merchant banks promise, but few deliver as effectively as the BG Capital Group.
