About
Brighton Partners is a private equity firm focused on small businesses with $10 to $30 million of revenue and less than $3 million of EBITDA.
We like regional distribution and service companies where geographic expansion is a key driver of future growth. Brighton makes control investments in partnership with management, aligning our interest through a combination of retained equity ownership and equity based incentives. We prefer a hands-on approach, bringing objective analysis and years of small, growth-oriented company experience to each investment opportunity. We pride ourselves on being good communicators; with our management teams, our lenders, and our limited partners. Brighton is currently investing out of Brighton Micro-Cap Fund, L.P., a $21 million fund raised in 2017.
Brighton Partners brings a professional, analytical approach to private equity investment in small growth companies. They know how to grow businesses.

To their credit, the Brighton team really invested a lot of time to understand our business and the industry. They’re a great sounding board for me and have been very helpful streamlining our operations as we’ve expanded from four to eleven locations.
Jim Campanella, Founder and President, Lawn Dawg
I was all set to sell my company to a competitor when I was introduced to Brighton Partners. Under their proposal, I sold control, but kept an ownership stake. We’re poised for strong organic growth and geographic expansion.
Joe Bowman, Founder and President, Century Resources
The Brighton guys know what they’re doing. They invest in good management teams, find ways to help drive revenue growth, and work their way into realistic exit strategies. We have had strong returns on our investments with Brighton Partners.
