Hickory Park Inc (formerly AH Equity Investments) is a United States holding company.
​
Hickory Park, Inc enters each partnership with the intention of never selling. We are a holding company with no exit dates. Due to our long time horizon, the culture of a potential company is just as important as its financials.
​
We are always looking to acquire growing, profitable, privately held companies with proven business models, records of revenue and earnings growth, and a plan to sustain that growth. We prefer to work with the current management team or promote from within and are open to purchasing outright the business or partnering with the current owners for future growth.
