Buy-Side M&A
Welcome to PCR Partners
PCR Partners (“PCR”) is a unique investment and consulting organization that provides high quality investment opportunities for private capital investors in the lower middle market.
Founded in 2002, as Private Capital Research LLC, PCR Partners works exclusively on the buy-side, and invests with a select number of family offices, private equity investors and corporate clients. PCR sources and originates investment opportunities that fit established transaction profile criteria on both a generalist and opportunistic basis. PCR sources opportunities to acquire or invest in, established, high-margin companies that have between $10 and $500 million in revenues.
PCR was formed to address the inherent inefficiencies of the lower middle market and meet the deal flow needs of private equity investors. Opportunities are sourced from our nationwide network of boutique sell-side advisors, deal professionals, and influential individuals that we have cultivated over more than two decades.
PCR’s clients are family office buyout groups, private equity investment funds, corporations and other sponsors that are not generally well known to PCR’s advisor network and recognize that there are actionable deals brought to market that they are not seeing. PCR provides outsourced business development services to source and originate deal opportunities that fit our clients’ transaction profile and investment criteria. Whenever possible, PCR invests alongside our client in the deals that we source, further aligning our interests.
Current retained engagements range from committed private equity funds with $130 to over $900 million in their current investment vehicles, to family-backed investment firms with capital in the billions. Please click here for detailed investment criteria for our group.
On this website, you can learn more about how we work with our clients to develop acquisition strategies, how we implement and execute these strategies, and see examples of completed transactions, many in which we have co-invested alongside of our client partners. You will also find detailed information on our current acquisition criteria and parameters as well as background information on the firm’s principals.
