Emigrant Capital

A Different Type of Equity Partner

We are part of a multi-generational family business and work with management teams to develop strategies based on companies’ long-term goals, rather than being driven by arbitrary timelines and fundraising cycles

We have the ability to tailor our financing solutions to each unique situation We make both non-control and majority investments, and can provide capital in the form of debt, equity and hybrid securities

Our goal is to help superior companies and management teams realize their full potential We take a conservative approach when incorporating third-party debt, allowing management to focus on growth

We believe equity partners should add value beyond just capital We help companies achieve their operational and growth objectives, providing assistance with strategic planning, optimizing operations, and leading the development and execution of acquisition plans ​ We invest between $5 million and $30 million in businesses generating between $2 million and $15 million in EBITDA
