OVERVIEW

Investing at the Inflection Point

Since 1994, Eos Private Equity has been in the business of investing in lower middle market companies at a pivotal stage—what we define as an inflection point. Like the first light of dawn, an inflection point marks the beginning of a new phase of growth, where strategic decisions can unlock substantial long-term value.

Success at these junctures isn’t a matter of chance; it’s the result of positioning a business to capitalize on key shifts—whether in end market dynamics, secular or regulatory changes, product innovation, strategic acquisitions, a transition from founder / entrepreneur-led to institutional ownership, a recapitalization or balance sheet restructuring…or merely a renewed focus on growth. Identifying these opportunities and aligning with strong management teams is where we excel.

Key differentiators

True Partnership

Interactive approach to partnering with and supporting entrepreneurs and management teams; we do not employ operating partners but rather work with existing management to identify and recruit additional talent and resources as needed.

First Institutional Capital

Focus on investing in founder, entrepreneur, and / or management-owned businesses; we have extensive experience working with companies that are new to private equity.

Flexibility

Customized investment structures to create aligned incentives that meet the transaction objectives of existing shareholders and management; we are comfortable making minority, as well as majority, investments.

Conservative Capital Structures

Modest leverage to support growth and resilience; proper capitalizations enable companies to focus on growth as well as withstand difficult and volatile economic environments.
