CHB Capital Partners

CHB Capital Partners, established in 1993 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado with an additional office in Atlanta, Georgia, is a private equity firm focusing on the smaller end of the middle market. The firm specializes in leveraged recapitalizations and management-led buyouts, providing growth equity to established businesses, particularly those in niche manufacturing, distribution, service, branded apparel, and electronics manufacturing sectors. CHB Capital Partners invests in companies with annual revenues between $10 million and $200 million, EBITDA between $1 million and $15 million, and enterprise values between $10 million and $75 million. The firm typically seeks equity investments of $3 million to $15 million, retaining these investments for three to six years and aiming to acquire a 20% to 80% equity stake. CHB Capital Partners avoids investing in startups, turnarounds, or commodity-driven sectors, and prefers situations where management can participate in the recapitalization.
