Graycliff Partners

Founded in 1991 and focused on investing in lower middle market companies for three decades, the Graycliff Partners team previously operated as the U.S. Private Equity division of HSBC. In 2011, the investment team spun off to form Graycliff Partners, an independent investment firm. Today, we manage over $1 Billion in investments. We’ve completed more than 100 transactions and have a proven track record of generating strong results for our valued shareholders and founders. While no two situations are the same, our investment focus remains unchanged: lower middle market companies primarily in the U.S., typically in niche manufacturing, value-added distribution, and industrial services. Private Equity Investment Approach We have over 25 years of experience as private equity investors. We focus on control buyouts, primarily of U.S.-based businesses. We invest when we have a clearly defined angle– a sourcing angle, a value-creation angle, or a combination of the two. While every investment is different, we look for companies that fit these parameters: ▪ Investment Range: $10-100mm ▪ Revenue: $10-200mm ▪ EBITDA: $4-50mm ▪ An experienced and motivated management team ▪ A product or service that provides a high value to customers and has strong barriers to entry ▪ A diversified customer base and EBITDA margins over 10% within growing, sustainable industries ▪ Significant free cash flow, with low capex and working capital requirements
