Profile

Live Ventures IncorporatedLIVEConsumer Discretionary

Owns domestic middle-market businesses across retail entertainment, retail flooring, flooring manufacturing, and steel manufacturing. The portfolio was assembled through acquisitions under a buy-build-hold model that keeps acquired management teams in place.

Operates a diversified domestic holding company built through acquisitions of middle-market businesses. Its four segments are Retail-Entertainment, Retail-Flooring, Flooring Manufacturing, and Steel Manufacturing.

The current portfolio includes businesses added through acquisitions, rather than the legacy online-directory and restaurant-deal operations. The company describes its approach as partnering with acquired management teams under a long-term buy-build-hold model.

Operations are concentrated in the United States, where the company reported approximately 1,744 employees at the end of its latest fiscal year. The model depends on maintaining and developing acquired operating businesses across distinct industrial and consumer-facing markets.
