What is Perpetual Capital Partners?

Perpetual Capital Partners is a private equity fund with headquarters at 2381 Centerline Industrial Drive, St.

Louis, Missouri. Founded in 2013 and based in Arlington, Virginia, they specialize in direct investments with a focus on equity and targeting lower middle-market companies.

Their investment strategy encompasses buyouts, recapitalization, industry consolidations, and bridge financing, while also emphasizing control-oriented growth capital investments.

Perpetual Capital Partners actively invest in a range of industries including software (Web Marketplace SaaS), IT & TMT, business solutions, hardware & manufacturing, HealthTech & fitness, medical devices & hospital services, healthcare & wellness, media and communications, distribution and logistics, branded products, business, financial services, and software as a service.

Their expertise extends to specialities like expansion, MBO/LBO, turnaround, recapitalization, restructuring, corporate divestiture, and ownership transition.

Operating with a fully-funded and evergreen capital base, they focus on value creation free from the constraints of a defined holding period. The firm manages a diversified portfolio of business interests with approximately 4,000 global employees.

Their executive and operating management teams work collaboratively to establish clear strategies, prioritize opportunities, allocate capital, and execute defined plans for accelerated growth and improved long-term operations. Their investment philosophy stresses building lasting fundamental value through proactive ownership, targeting businesses with defensible market positions and sustainable business models. They place importance on sound fundamentals, consistent growth, stable margins, and a clear path to expansion or improvement.

Proactive ownership includes partnering with operating management teams to develop strategies, source and evaluate opportunities, oversee capital allocation decisions, and execute strategic projects.

They aim to build robust businesses with solid fundamental value, selling when strategically advantageous rather than adhering to a predetermined schedule. Perpetual Capital Partners actively seek new platform opportunities and add-on opportunities for acquisitions, business partnerships, and new business ventures aligning with their target criteria.
