SVP Funds

We make expansion and growth capital investments in small businesses that are positioned for market leadership. These companies leverage technology and unique business models to enhance the productivity of their customers. Our investment strategy provides the appropriate resources to support owners and operators who have proven business models and are ready to expand the business.

Following an initial investment of between $5 million and $25 million, we leverage nearly 25 years of investment and operating experience to provide comprehensive, industry-specific resources and a strategic advantage for our portfolio company partners. Codifying this experience in our proprietary Business Value Accelerator (BVA) methodology, we provide tools for business development, strategic planning, best practices in leadership and direction methodology, human capital management, and other areas critical for success. With particular attention to human capital and Board of Directors development, Sterling Partners has five full-time executives devoted to supporting our management partners and assisting in human capital strategy, development, and recruitment.

Our investment professionals have an enviable record of entrepreneurial success in healthcare, education, business services, and technology. We aggregate this history to help build strategic relationships and deliver valuable perspectives to our management team partners. We understand the challenges presented by servicing niche markets, fulfilling complex sales cycles, and operating in regulated industries. We bring a seasoned point of view to investing, and with an eye to the long-term, we know how to recruit and retain the top performers.
