Prospect Partners is a leading private equity firm investing in smaller lower-middle-market companies, managing three funds totaling $470 million. A highly experienced and active small-company buyer, we have invested nationwide in nearly 80 companies, including 37 platforms, since the inception of our firm in 1998.

Our exclusive focus is on management-led leveraged buyouts and recapitalizations of smaller lower-middle-market companies.

• We partner with management teams to acquire and help build small niche leaders — profitable, growth-ready businesses with revenues typically between $10 million and $75 million and EBITDA up to $8 million (add-on acquisitions for current platform companies typically generate at least $2 million in revenues).
• We typically invest $2 million to $25 million in management-led leveraged acquisitions, and make follow-on investments to support the internal growth and health of our portfolio companies.
• We are an opportunity-driven buyer; our portfolio includes companies in a broad range of niche manufacturing, distribution and specialty service markets.
• We are long-term investors. We focus on building companies over time and are committed to maximizing their values.
