Benford Capital Partners is a Chicago-based private equity investment firm focused on leveraged buyouts and recapitalizations of lower middle market companies. The BCP team has over 80 years of combined experience buying and scaling businesses.

The BCP Team is a group of committed investment and operating professionals with significant experience acquiring, building, and operating lower middle market companies. The team utilizes its collective experience, background, knowledge base, and networks to help each portfolio company achieve long-term success.

BCP partners with founders, family owners and managers to grow smaller companies over time. As engaged stewards and partners, we seek to build businesses and invest in people while preserving each company’s legacy and culture. We pride ourselves in being straightforward, consistent, forthright and partnership oriented.

We strongly believe in a collaborative approach to building long-term value, with day-to-day decisions left to management. Toward that end, we take an active role at the Board of Directors level, focusing on growth opportunities, acquisitions, recruiting, strategy and financing. In situations involving Owner/Operator transitions, we often will draw upon our relationships with experienced outside managers seeking to take an active full-time role in a company.

Our investment time horizon is flexible and aligned with management’s goals over shorter or longer time-frames. We believe in long-term value creation and have longer average investment periods.
