PRIVATE EQUITY

Overview

JPBE is a respected and influential private equity partner for lower-middle market companies -- companies with revenues less than $100 million—in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States.

We provide equity and equity-linked capital to value-driven management teams to acquire and grow family-owned businesses, “non-core” operations of larger corporations, and micro-cap publicly traded companies.

We offer creative financial solutions, prefer control positions, make prudent use of leverage to finance our acquisitions, and facilitate access to a broad network of strategic contacts and operationally-focused executives to maximize the long-term prosperity of our portfolio companies.

Operating under their own management, our portfolio companies each function on an independent basis. As investors, we provide oversight and strategic leadership to our portfolio companies in the areas of strategic development, process improvement, and acquisitions, joint-ventures and strategic alliances.

Our private equity operations began in 1995 investing capital in lower-middle market companies on behalf of the Bolduc family and select high net worth individuals. Since 1995, we have invested more than $40 million in 11 platform companies and completed more than 30 platform acquisitions, add-on acquisitions and portfolio company divestments.

In response to expanding opportunities in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States and the lower-middle market segment, JPBE has recently added additional team members with finance, operating, and principal investment experience to form JPB Capital Partners II, L.P. While JPBE’s prior investment activities have included a number of third party investors on a transaction-specific basis, JPB Capital Partners II formalizes JPBE’s private equity investment activities in a single limited partnership. JPB Capital Partners II now represents the primary private equity vehicle for JPBE.
