Summit Park
Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, Summit Park is a private investment firm focused on the lower middle market. We invest across a wide range of industries, including services, consumer and industrial growth, and target businesses with revenue between $20 and $100 million, or EBITDA between $4 and $15 million. We strive to be the partner of choice for owners, entrepreneurs, and management teams who share our passion for building companies of extraordinary value. Our capital typically serves as the catalyst for change and/or growth. Change might come in the form of the transfer of ownership from a corporate parent or less active shareholder to a capable and committed management team, or the transition of leadership from one generation to the next. Our capital, resources, and insights also assist in the development and implementation of growth strategies, such as an industry consolidation plan or product, service line, or geographic expansion.
