CHB Capital Partners

CHB Capital Partners is a private equity firm founded in 1993 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado, with an additional office in Atlanta, Georgia. The firm specializes in leveraged recapitalizations, management-led buyouts, and growth equity investments, focusing on smaller end of the middle market companies and established businesses. CHB primarily invests in closely held and family-owned businesses that require capital for ownership transitions and growth. Its investment strategy includes providing capital for shareholder buyouts, management buyouts, and company recapitalizations, as well as funding acquisitions, new product development, and working capital needs. The firm targets companies in niche manufacturing, distribution, service, branded apparel, and electronics manufacturing, typically with annual revenues between $10 million and $200 million. CHB Capital Partners generally seeks equity investments ranging from $3 million to $15 million and prefers to acquire 20 percent to 80 percent ownership in its portfolio companies, maintaining its investments for three to six years. The firm avoids investing in startups, turnarounds, or companies that seek complete sales without management participation in the recapitalization process.
