He has made a number of companies more successful, for employee and investors both, in his life. It would seem much more than the ones that closed or he would not have been considered successful.
Also he saved the Utah Olympics. I am surprised how quiet everyone is about that. I think Romney is saving it for a trump card.
In fact Romney had an ad recently where he showcased a steel factory he not only saved, but made a huge success with. This countered an Obama ad saying he shut places out of business.
i cannot find a single link showing romney saving failing businesses. all that comes up is crook, failure, bankruptcy. and to be considered sucessful all you need is money, money that can be made by coring companies.

Bain Capital itself, and especially its actions during its first 15 years, came under press scrutiny as the result of Romney's 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns.[26][92][93] However, Bain Capital made as few comments as possible, as even by the standards of the private equity industry it was known for its commitment towards secrecy about itself and privacy for its clients and investors.[93] In his 2010 book The Buyout of America: How Private Equity Is Destroying Jobs and Killing the American Economy, Josh Kosman described Bain Capital as "notorious for its failure to plow profits back into its businesses," being the first large private-equity firm to derive a large fraction of its revenues from corporate dividends and other distributions. The revenue potential of this strategy, which may "starve" a company of capital,[94] was increased by a 1970s court ruling that allowed companies to consider the entire fair-market value of the company, instead of only their "hard assets", in determining how much money was available to pay dividends.[95] In at least some instances, companies acquired by Bain borrowed money in order to increase their dividend payments, ultimately leading to the collapse of what had been financially stable businesses.[46]
