Bounds Equity Partners, LLC

About The Fund

Bounds Equity Partners, LLC (BEP) is a private equity investment firm specializing in equity investments, focusing on expanding well-managed, entrepreneurial businesses. They target companies with an EBITDA in excess of $1,000,000. With a history dating back to 1988, the team at BEP is adept at partnering with entrepreneurs to scale their operations and improve performance. The Fund's investment approach often involves providing liquidity to private company entrepreneurs who typically reinvest alongside BEP for future value creation. The principals of BEP have significant experience in the field, having led three private equity groups – Heller Equity Capital Corporation, Allstate Private Equity, and Goense Bounds & Partners – before establishing Bounds Equity Partners. Over their extensive investment history, they have invested in more than 70 companies, and they currently manage assets totaling over $100 million. BEP's investment portfolio represents a diverse range of sectors, but they showcase particular success in building materials and services, consumer products, and specialty manufacturing sectors. Unlike many private equity firms, BEP is comfortable working with companies that may present certain challenges, such as key man risk, incomplete management teams, or inadequate financial controls and systems. They provide not just capital but also the necessary resources to bolster management teams, enhance operational processes, and lay the groundwork for growth by broadening sales channels, product lines, and customer bases.
