CHB Capital Partners

CHB Capital Partners is a Denver-based private equity firm founded in 1993, focusing on growth-oriented investments in mid-market companies across the United States. The firm specializes in leveraged recapitalizations, management-led buyouts, and growth equity investments, primarily targeting smaller end of the middle market and established businesses. CHB Capital Partners provides equity capital to closely held and family-owned companies, facilitating ownership transitions and supporting management teams in buyouts. It also invests in growth situations, financing acquisitions, new product development, and capital expenditures. The firm typically targets companies with annual revenues between $10 million and $200 million and prefers to acquire 20 percent to 80 percent equity in its portfolio. CHB Capital Partners avoids startups, turnarounds, and commodity-driven sectors, instead focusing on niche manufacturing, distribution, service, branded apparel, and electronics manufacturing industries. The firm generally retains its investments for three to six years and aims to invest between $3 million and $15 million, though larger transactions are also considered.
