Private Equity Firms in Utah

Utah's private equity firms are spread along the Wasatch Front, from Salt Lake City to Lehi and Draper, with several more in Park City. The state is known for software, but its buyout firms reach well beyond it.

Healthcare is the largest theme. Several firms here invest only in healthcare services and related technology, from provider practices to the companies that support them.

Home and commercial services are active too. Utah firms have backed roofing, HVAC, construction services and auto services businesses, often building regional platforms through add-on acquisitions.

Structures vary. Most firms buy control, but some take minority or growth stakes, one is a long-term holding company with no fixed date to sell, and another runs separate venture and search fund strategies alongside its buyout funds. Sizes range from about $1 million of EBITDA at the small end to about $35 million at the top.

A buyer close to home can visit often and already knows the local market. Still, every firm here buys outside Utah, and many active buyers of Utah companies are based in other states. The better questions are whether a firm has bought businesses like yours, at your size, and how the founders and managers fared after closing.

The profiles below are built to answer those questions. Each one lists the firm's announced deals from the last two years, with dates and links to the source, along with its stated size range and current portfolio, so an owner can quickly see which Utah firms are active in their industry.

Greymont is paid by buyers, never by owners. Greymont can help Utah owners compare these firms with national buyers active in the Mountain West and find the right fit.
