Rural America is home to one fifth of the Nation’s population, and is a collage of people and economic activity. Seven out of eight rural counties are now dominated by varying mixes of manufacturing, services, and other non-farming activities. While the majority of rural residents are not dependent on agriculture for their income, many small family farmers rely on local, off-farm employment to supplement their farm income. Of the 60 million people who live in rural America, only 2 million are directly engaged in agriculture production. Throughout their careers, the principals of Waypoint Private Capital have served clients in Rural America, and focused our expertise on the vastly underserved business communities in Middle America. The founding principles underlying the formation of Waypoint were to bring together financial and operational experience with expertise in strategies, incentives and structures which serve to benefit small and mid-market companies in Rural America. The programs described here offer a look at several of the non-traditional channels and strategies employed by Waypoint. |
