Crescent Private
Capital, L.P. is a private equity firm based in Boston, MA with $75 million
under management. Crescent invests in private companies with demonstrated
track records of growth and profitability.
Crescent has a broad industry
focus but prefers to invest in industries with significant growth and in
businesses that are not capital intensive. Crescent looks to make a $3
million to $5 million equity investment in each company. The proceeds from
our investments are used to support internal growth, to finance acquisitions
or to provide liquidity for existing shareholders. We are flexible in structuring
our investments but typically invest in growth financings, minority and
majority recapitalizations, consolidations, and management led buyouts.
Crescent's limited partners
are a strong group of long-term private equity investors including the
following: public pension funds such as the Detroit Firemen and Policemen
Retirement System, the MBTA Retirement Fund and the city of Somerville;
financial institutions such as FleetBoston, Firstar Bank and the Development
Bank of Singapore.
Crescent has strategic relationships
with over a dozen Joint Venture Partners who provide deal flow for Crescent
and lending relationships for our portfolio companies. These Joint Venture
Partners include Amsouth Bank, Comerica Bank, Firstar Bank, Hibernia National
Bank, M&T Bank, Sovereign Bank and others.
