Seacoast Capital

Seacoast Capital is a private investment firm founded in 1994, focusing on providing non-controlling growth capital to privately-held lower middle market companies across the United States. Unlike traditional private equity firms, Seacoast partners directly with management teams, offering customized debt and equity solutions to support growth, recapitalizations, acquisitions, and management buyouts. Their capital typically ranges from $5 million to $30 million, targeting companies with revenues exceeding $10 million and EBITDA over $2 million.

The firm's investment approach is industry-agnostic, encompassing sectors such as specialty manufacturing, value-added distribution, commercial and consumer services, environmental services, logistics and infrastructure services, health and wellness, and consumer products. Seacoast Capital's flexible investment thesis allows it to engage in various transaction types, including growth financings, recapitalizations, acquisitions, management buyouts, and shareholder repurchases.

Since its inception, Seacoast has managed over $1 billion in capital, investing in more than 90 companies. Their portfolio includes investments in Focus Technology Solutions, a provider of IT services, and Serpico Landscaping, acquired by Integrity Landscape Corporation. The firm's fifth fund, Seacoast Capital Partners V, L.P., is actively seeking new investment opportunities, continuing its commitment to supporting management teams in achieving their business objectives without taking control of their companies.
