Cascade Finance Partners

Cascade Finance Partners is a private equity firm focused on investing in lower middle-market companies across a variety of industries. Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, the firm targets businesses with strong growth potential and seeks to partner with experienced management teams to drive value creation. Their investment strategy centers around providing capital and operational expertise to help companies scale and achieve their strategic objectives.

A key aspect of Cascade Finance Partners' approach is their focus on operational improvements. They bring a hands-on approach, working closely with portfolio companies to identify and implement strategies to enhance efficiency, optimize processes, and improve profitability. This often includes leveraging their network of industry experts and consultants to provide specialized support in areas such as sales and marketing, supply chain management, and technology integration.

The firm's investment criteria typically include companies with revenues ranging from $10 million to $100 million and EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) of $2 million to $10 million. While industry agnostic, Cascade Finance Partners has demonstrated a particular interest in sectors such as business services, manufacturing, healthcare, and technology. They typically invest in companies located in the Western United States, but may consider opportunities in other regions as well.

Cascade Finance Partners provides a range of capital solutions, including equity and debt financing, to support various transaction types. These include management buyouts, recapitalizations, growth equity investments, and acquisitions. Their investment horizon is typically five to seven years, during which they actively work with management teams to build sustainable and scalable businesses. Ultimately, their goal is to exit their investments through strategic sales, initial public offerings (IPOs), or other liquidity events that maximize returns for their investors.

The team at Cascade Finance Partners comprises experienced investment professionals with diverse backgrounds in private equity, operations, and finance. They bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to bear on each investment, providing valuable insights and guidance to their portfolio companies. Their collaborative approach and commitment to building strong relationships with management teams are hallmarks of their investment philosophy.
