We invest in dynamic middle market companies with compelling growth prospects

Within our targeted industries, Brookside first and foremost looks to partner with companies led by experienced teams who possess a clear vision for the growth direction of their business.  We typically target companies in large and fragmented markets where growth can be achieved both organically and through strategic acquisition initiatives.  We also seek proven business models that are characterized by attractive margin profiles and the ability to generate meaningful free cash flow over time as the company scales.

Many of our businesses require significant investment in people, infrastructure, research and development, and other growth needs immediately after close.   We are often the first institutional investor in these companies and are used to making the type of growth investments needed to help management take the business to the next level.  While we are not turn-around investors, we understand that lower middle market companies often require the willingness to invest in the near-term to achieve long-term objectives.
