Farragut Capital Partners

Farragut Capital Partners is a privately held investment firm specializing in providing subordinated debt and private equity capital to lower middle-market businesses across the United States. The firm's capital solutions are designed to support a range of strategic initiatives, including growth financings, acquisitions, recapitalizations, management buy-outs, and generational transfers. Farragut targets asset-light companies with proven business models, stable or growing cash flows, defensible market positions, and strong management teams, seeking those with significant potential for value appreciation. Investment sizes typically range from $2 million to $15 million per deal, with a 5-7 year investment horizon.

Established in 2011, Farragut Capital Partners was formed as a continuation of a long-standing tradition of investing mezzanine and private equity capital in small and mid-sized U.S. businesses. The firm operates as a licensed Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) under the U.S. Small Business Administration, currently deploying capital from its third SBIC fund. Unlike traditional private equity groups that seek control, Farragut aims to partner with owners and management teams as minority shareholders, focusing on creating lasting value within its portfolio companies.

Farragut Capital Partners has a history of investing in diverse sectors, including business services, industrial services, light manufacturing, value-added distribution, healthcare, consumer, and media. Recent investments include Mainstage Theatrical, Resolvion, Omega Moulding Company, and Uptime USA. The firm's approach involves working closely with equity sponsors, senior lenders, and directly with management teams to facilitate growth and provide acquisition financing that may not be available from conventional lending sources.

The investment professionals at Farragut Capital Partners bring extensive experience to the lower middle market, with the team having worked together for nearly two decades and possessing over 75 years of combined investment expertise. Collectively, the team has invested more than $1 billion of capital in over 100 companies. Key team members include Managing Partners Phil McNeill and Javier Aguirre, and Partners Alan Cuthbertson and Rob Hagerty, among others, who are dedicated to their disciplined investment approach.
