North American Funds LLC

About The Fund

North American Funds LLC is a private equity firm that focuses on assisting retiring entrepreneurs or family-owned businesses through investments. Their primary strategy includes providing support for add-on acquisitions, recapitalizations, small corporate divestitures, private equity portfolio company sales, and manager-identified acquisitions that cater to the lower middle market segment. They steer clear of the start-up sector and early-stage investments, as well as industries characterized by swift technological shifts or project-based ventures such as real estate development, oil and gas, and motion pictures. The firm’s investment portfolio spans a diverse array of sectors including manufacturing, food and beverage, medical services, consumer products or services, value-added distribution/logistics, business services, education services or support, and financial services. Typically, North American Funds LLC invests in companies boasting revenues in the range of $5 million to $40 million and EBITDA from $500,000 to $5 million, although they maintain flexibility regarding the size of add-on acquisitions. Notably absent from their investment interest are industries such as Software, IT & TMT, Education, BioTech, Business Solutions, FinTech & Financial Services, Hardware & Manufacturing, A.I. & Big Data, and HealthTech & Fitness. Established in 1989 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois with an additional office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the firm capitalizes on a wealth of experience and a strategic approach to empower businesses in their portfolio to achieve growth and operational excellence.
