What Resurgent Capital Partners buys
Resurgent Capital Partners is a small California firm that buys lower middle market companies and works on them hands-on. It has two lanes. The main one is performing businesses: established companies with recurring or repeat revenue, low capital needs and room to grow. The second, pursued opportunistically, is special situations such as orphan assets, corporate carve-outs and companies with balance sheet problems, including some with negative EBITDA. It publishes no split between the two, but among the deals on its site only Unified Dispatch, bought from Transdev in 2019, is clearly a carve-out.
For a new platform it wants $5 million to $100 million of revenue, $2 million to $10 million of EBITDA and an equity check of $5 million to $40 million, in the United States or Canada. It seeks control or significant influence. Add-ons have no minimum, so that is the likely route for a smaller company. Focus areas include business services, software, government technology, consumer and retail, healthcare, and asset-light logistics. It avoids energy, real estate, life sciences and early-stage companies.

Greymont’s take
How Resurgent Capital Partners fits a seller
Resurgent suits an owner who wants a hands-on partner, or whose company has a wrinkle that keeps other buyers away. Its principals are former operators and turnaround executives, and it says it will either partner with management or replace it. That makes it a realistic call for a founder planning to step back, a division being sold by a larger parent, or a business with a messy balance sheet. In the $5 Tan deal the founder kept a stake and the general manager became CEO.
It does few deals. Its site shows one new investment in the past two years, Government Window, where Riata led and Resurgent co-invested. Its last deal as lead buyer was Sonant in 2023. An owner should ask where the equity for a new deal would come from, whether Resurgent would lead or bring in a partner, and how involved its principals would be day to day.
Questions owners ask
What size company does Resurgent Capital Partners buy?
For new platforms it wants $5 million to $100 million of revenue and $2 million to $10 million of EBITDA, with $5 million to $40 million of equity. Its special situations lane accepts negative EBITDA, and add-ons have no minimum.
Does Resurgent only do turnarounds?
No. Its one-pager says the focus is strong performing companies, with special situations pursued opportunistically. Carve-outs and troubled balance sheets are a second lane that draws on the team's turnaround background.
What stake did Resurgent take in Government Window?
The size was not disclosed. Riata Capital Group led the October 2025 investment and describes Resurgent as a co-investor, so Resurgent did not lead this deal.
Will Resurgent keep the owner or management in place?
It says it is willing to partner with management or replace it. When it bought $5 Tan in 2020, the founder kept an equity stake and the general manager became CEO.
