Southlake Equity Group

Southlake Equity Group invests private, patient capital in manufacturing, distribution and service companies. We focus on companies with enterprise values from $20-200 million. We will invest in larger transactions when the opportunity is right, and we will also pursue smaller investments that are add-ons to existing platform companies. Size is far less important than the potential of a business to become extraordinary and the enthusiasm of the management team to work with us to make extraordinary happen.

We invest in manufacturing, distribution and service companies in the United States. And, truth be told, we vastly prefer companies that are located in the central section of the country. We have found that sellers and management teams frequently prefer a partner in closer proximity who can be counted on to work side-by-side with them as they confront the challenges associated with selling a company or managing change. It is easier to partner with management when it is easier to spend time with them. Distance is the enemy of deep relationships.
