Growth Capital

Management teams often confront capital constraints associated with executing desired expansion plans. Managers also face the difficult issues surrounding whether or not to acquire competitors as strategic acquisitions occur around them. The Principals of Champlain have extensive experience investing in companies and working with management teams to assess their capital needs, to partner with them to achieve their objectives, and to provide the appropriate capital to realize their ultimate goals, especially in competitive environments.

Transfers of Ownership

Some owners face succession issues in their businesses or need to provide liquidity to other shareholders. Champlain can be a value-added partner to support management in purchasing the business from the ownership group, or to purchase a partial ownership interest from shareholders desiring liquidity.
