About us

Who we are

Established in 2012, Phoenix Partners is a private equity group that is focused on acquiring controlling interests in traditional and mid market businesses.

Our mission is simple; we partner with founders, founding families and management to grow their business to new heights.

Our value add

Every partnership is unique. However, each of our companies has the same characteristics. They are well-run, profitable businesses with a leadership position in their market.

Having identified these attributes, we focus on the owner’s objectives and craft our partnership to meet these goals. Our approach is to work with existing owners and management teams to enhance performance, improve profitability and realize market potential.
