Century Park Capital Partners, LLC is a private equity group focused exclusively on investments in middle market companies with a particular emphasis on U.S.-based, founder-owned and operated businesses. We are a growth-oriented investor specializing in buyouts and recapitalizations of smaller middle market companies that are profitable, exhibit growth opportunities (both internal as well as through add-on acquisitions), and which occupy a defensible niche within their business segment. Century Park partners with management to accelerate the growth curve of their businesses and create more effective enterprises by investing in infrastructure, product and service line expansion, sales and marketing, and strategic add-on acquisitions. In the 20-year history of our firm, we have completed dozens of partnerships with owner-operator businesses. We are intimately familiar with understanding the complex dynamics that are associated with the important life event that a transition of a business represents. It is our goal to always act as a trusted future partner and clear and open communicator in all discussions and interactions with the owners of our target companies.
Overview
Century Park Capital Partners is a Los Angeles-based private equity group established in 2000 that invests in family businesses, owner-operated firms and corporate divestitures with the purpose of accelerating growth and transforming these companies into leading industry players. We specialize in acquiring strategically well-positioned yet under-resourced middle market companies with identifiable potential for value creation. We leverage the domain expertise of the Century Park Executive Council to work with management to implement a value creation blueprint for our portfolio companies. We further support our investments with proven operational and best practice initiatives, led by our Operating Team, including buy-and-build acquisition integration programs and infrastructure additions.
Why do prospects want to do business with the firm?:
Once a transaction is closed, we work closely with the management team at each company to develop a detailed business plan, or “Value Creation Blueprint” which serves as a roadmap for our investment and outlines our operating strategy. We hold monthly calls and quarterly board meetings with the management teams to discuss each company’s financial performance, evaluate potential strategic add-on acquisitions and discuss any general business initiatives and updates. Typically, the Executive Council members involved with the particular transaction will be involved in all of these interactions. Having said that, our approach has always been to serve as a non-intrusive, value-added partner to management, since they are the people that know the business best. We encourage sellers to select the investor they believe will maximize value post-close, bring relevant expertise to the boardroom and make the best overall business partner. At Century Park, we place heavy emphasis on “fit” and believe finding the right cultural fit is just as important as a track record of strong financial performance.
Why do intermediaries present opportunities and want to conduct transactions with the firm?:
Easy to work with; 20+ year history; reputation for closing deals; dedicated business development team.
