The “middle market,” defined as companies with revenues of $10 to $200 million, represents over 85% of all privately-held businesses in the U.S. Since 1992, the Principals have focused exclusively on investing in companies in this size range. We believe that our singular focus and long standing commitment to working with middle market companies distinguishes us from other equity funds.

The Principals of Champlain Capital Partners have over 80 years of collective experience in mergers, acquisitions, and corporate finance. The team brings together a strong combination of financial, operational, legal and acquisition expertise to act as the lead investor in its transactions. Champlain’s professionals have the transaction experience and resources necessary to quickly respond to opportunities and efficiently close transactions. Champlain maintains a flexible investment approach with the objective of tailoring our capital to the needs of the specific business and situation.

The Principals have extensive experience investing in the middle-market and believe that they can add value to the financial, strategic and operational aspects of many businesses to further their growth and profitability. Through active involvement, the Principals have been successful unlocking meaningful hidden value in many of these companies. Whether through strategically refocusing a company’s market position, sourcing and structuring add-on acquisitions, or strengthening a business’s capital structure, the Principals possess the experience necessary to work with management teams in order to help them improve their business.
