Crown Capital Partners 

Crown Capital Partners Inc. (CCP) is a private equity firm that offers diverse capital solutions to both private and publicly traded middle-market companies. Their investment strategies encompass direct acquisitions, special situations, management and leveraged buyouts (MBOs/LBOs), recapitalizations, and private investments in public equity (PIPEs). They also provide various debt instruments, such as subordinated, mezzanine, alternative, and bridge loans, alongside growth capital. Additionally, CCP extends leveraged working capital loans and structures investments through royalty agreements. While open to opportunities across all sectors, CCP shows a preference for telecommunication services, broadband, industrial and commercial enterprises, recreational facilities, and condominium developments, with a particular focus on niche markets. Geographically, they primarily target Canadian companies, but also consider select opportunities across North America and the United States. Typical investment sizes range from $1 million to $25 million. They seek companies generating sales between $10 million and $200 million, an enterprise value of $5 million to $200 million, and EBITDA figures from $2 million to $50 million. It's noted, however, that the firm possesses the capacity to finance considerably larger deals. In terms of investment structure, CCP frequently utilizes subordinated debentures, sometimes including equity participation. They can also create single debt facilities that blend senior and junior debt components. Furthermore, the firm engages in distressed loan investments, aiming to secure a senior security position on the balance sheet of its portfolio companies. Crown Capital Partners generally seeks to acquire a controlling or majority ownership stake in its portfolio companies, with an objective to exit investments within a five-year timeframe. Established in 2000, Crown Capital Partners Inc. is headquartered in Toronto, Canada, and maintains an additional office in Calgary.
