Westham Capital Partners (WCP) is a private equity firm that seeks to invest in lower middle market transactions. WCP invests funds from a select group of family office investors who have an appetite for private equity, but do not want to serve as a passive LP or set up the infrastructure internally to pursue these opportunities individually. In addition to our principal investment activities, we also work with a select group of Partner Funds to find platform companies, add-on investments, mezzanine debt and senior debt. We are part of our Partner Fund’s extended team, and focus our efforts on sourcing, evaluating and co-investing in deals ranging in size from $5 million to over $100 million in a variety of transaction situations and industries.
Westham Capital seeks to serve as a lead investor or co-investor in three types of transactions:
- Controlling equity investments in profitable companies with cash flow of $1 million to $15 million.
- Controlling equity investments in companies that are in out of favor industries, need management, have customer concentration issues or need turnaround .
- Innovative and flexible private debt and mezzanine investments in industries or situations not typically served by traditional lenders.
Our investment criteria encompass all parts of the capital structure and include a variety of industries.
Founded in 2002, Westham Capital has a history of making sound investment decisions by evaluating thousands of investment opportunities and aggressively choosing those with the most promise for our portfolio. The diverse array of portfolio companies is proof of our commitment to evaluating a wide variety of industries to uncover unique investment opportunities. When evaluating an opportunity, our professionals draw from decades of experience as operators and investment professionals. Combined with our family office investors, Westham Capital brings a committed group of resources together to pursue investments in the lower middle market with both flexibility and certainty.
