About

CHB Capital Partners is a private equity firm specializing in leveraged recapitalizations, management-led buyouts, and growth equity investments in smaller end of the middle market companies and established businesses. The firm typically makes equity investments in closely held and family owned businesses requiring capital for ownership transitions and growth. For ownership transition situations, it provide capital to the business to buy in share holders; supporting a management team in buying out existing owners; and recapitalizing the company to allow some owners to exit and new management owners to come in. Within growth situations, the firm provides capital for acquisitions; funding new product development or new market entry; supporting increased capital expenditures; and providing additional working capital. The firm avoids investing in startups, turnarounds or in commodity driven sectors such as real estate, construction, and natural resources and in companies that desire the complete sale of the business and where the management cannot participate in the recapitalization of the company. It invests in companies operating in the niche manufacturing, distribution, service, branded apparel, and electronics manufacturing industries. The firm generally seeks to invest in United States. It finances companies with annual revenues between $10 million and $200 million, EBITDA between $1 million and $15 million, enterprise values between $10 million and $75 million, and transaction value between $10 million and $75 million. The firm seeks to make equity investment between $3 million and $15 million, although it can invest in larger transactions. It retains its investments for three years to six years and prefers to acquire 20 percent to 80 percent of equity in its portfolio companies. CHB Capital Partners was founded in 1993 and is based in Denver, Colorado with an additional office in Atlanta, Georgia.
