What Altura Capital buys
Altura Capital is a Coral Gables, Florida impact investor that provides both debt and equity to small and lower middle market US companies, with an emphasis on overlooked businesses, including those in low and moderate income areas. Its main strategy invests $5 million to $25 million, through custom debt, junior capital or equity, in companies with $2 million to $10 million of EBITDA and $10 million to $200 million of revenue, in business services, consumer goods, specialty manufacturing and healthcare.
A second strategy buys equity only, $1 million to $10 million per deal, in companies with $1 million to $10 million of EBITDA. The catch is location: the business must sit in a Qualified Opportunity Zone, a low-income area marked by the federal government for tax-favored investment. Altura is more than a lender. It bought a majority of AVS Life Sciences in 2022, and it has since partnered with WT Group and Color Factory Paint, though it has not said what it owns in either. Owners can use it for growth, acquisitions, refinancing or a family handover.

Greymont’s take
How Altura Capital fits a seller
Altura suits an owner who wants capital and a long-term partner but has not settled on a full sale. Because it can use debt, junior capital or equity, a family transition, refinancing or growth financing may fit better here than at a pure buyout firm. Its stated focus on overlooked businesses and lower income areas means a company in those markets is squarely what it looks for.
Owners should expect Altura to bring its own people. At AVS Life Sciences it placed operating partners in the chief executive role in 2022 and again in 2026, while at WT Group the family CEO stayed and an Altura co-founder became manager of the new entity. Before signing, ask plainly whether the money is debt or equity, what stake Altura would hold, and who controls the board.
Questions owners ask
Is Altura Capital a lender or an equity investor?
Both. Its main strategy offers custom debt, junior capital and equity, and its Opportunity Zone strategy is equity only. It has also held control: it bought a majority interest in AVS Life Sciences in May 2022.
What is Altura's Opportunity Zone strategy?
It is a separate pool that only buys equity, at $1 million to $10 million per deal, and only in companies located in Qualified Opportunity Zones. A company outside those zones would look to the main strategy instead. Altura first backed 7Miles Global this way in May 2023.
What does Altura own in WT Group?
Neither firm has said. WT Group's June 2025 announcement calls Altura a financial and strategic partner and names an Altura co-founder as manager of the new WT Group AEC, LLC. Altura lists WT Group as a current holding but gives no stake.
What size company does Altura look for?
Its main strategy targets $2 million to $10 million of EBITDA and $10 million to $200 million of revenue. The Opportunity Zone strategy goes down to $1 million of EBITDA, for companies located in those zones.
