Prospect Partners, LLC is a leading lower-middle-market private equity firm managing two funds totaling $270 million. A highly experienced and active small-company buyer, Prospect Partners has invested nationwide in nearly 70 companies, including 32 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 $50 million and EBITDA up to $8 million.
• We pursue platform company add-on acquisitions with as little as $2 million in revenues.
• We typically invest in $1 million to $15 million increments in the equity portion of management-led leveraged acquisitions, and make follow-on investments to support the internal growth and health of our portfolio companies.
• We can invest up to $25 million in a single portfolio company.
• We are an opportunity-driven buyer; our portfolio includes companies in a broad range of niche markets, including consumer, commercial, manufacturing, distribution and specialty business and consumer services.
• We are long-term investors. We focus on building companies over time and are committed to maximizing their values.
