Banyan Capital Partners

Banyan Capital Partners is a private equity firm based in Toronto, Canada, with additional offices in Vancouver. Established in 1998, the firm focuses on investing in later-stage, middle-market companies across various sectors, including consumer goods, industrial, healthcare, retail, and manufacturing. Banyan Capital Partners seeks to support privately held companies aiming to accelerate growth, facilitate ownership changes, or recapitalize their balance sheets. The firm also targets orphaned corporate divisions and small-cap public companies that lack strong institutional backing. Its investment range typically spans from CAD10 million to CAD50 million, targeting companies with enterprise values between CAD20 million and CAD200 million. Banyan takes a long-term investment approach, often acquiring both majority and minority stakes, and is prepared to hold investments indefinitely. The firm maintains a flexible investment strategy, allowing for participation in special situations and complex financial scenarios, while avoiding real estate and businesses with significant commodity exposure or technology risks.
