What SNH Capital Partners buys

SNH Capital Partners is an Austin, Texas investment firm that Jevin Sackett started in 1995 with proceeds from a real estate data company he built. It invests its own long-term capital rather than a fixed-life fund, so it has no set date to sell and says it prefers to hold companies indefinitely. It looks for profitable, founder-led US companies with up to $75 million of annual EBITDA in steady industries, and it keeps debt low. Most of its deals come from founders and executive teams who have run their business for decades, and many of them stay on to lead it.

Its holdings lean toward business services and data: credit data and software for auto dealers and mortgage lenders, background screening, employment verification, HR outsourcing, and Five Nines, a Midwest managed IT provider. More recently it has added distributors, buying into seafood importer Arctic Fisheries in November 2025 and agreeing in September 2026 to take a stake in industrial supplier Stellar Industrial Supply. It does not publish a minimum size.

Greymont’s take

How SNH Capital Partners fits a seller

SNH fits a founder who wants to sell without the company being passed to another investor a few years later. Because it invests its own capital and says it prefers to hold indefinitely, it can suit owners who care most about keeping their team and name in place. In the November 2025 Arctic Fisheries deal the CEO kept a shareholding and stayed in charge, and Stellar Industrial Supply kept its name and management team under its 2026 agreement. Its stake in Five Nines also makes it a current owner of a managed IT provider.

The firm offers portfolio companies its in-house consulting team at no charge. Because it publishes no minimum size and has not disclosed the size of its recent stakes, an owner should ask early whether SNH would buy control or a partial stake, and how much debt it would put on the business.

Questions owners ask

Does SNH Capital Partners sell its companies after a few years?

It has no set timeline. SNH invests from its own evergreen capital instead of a closed-end fund and says it prefers to hold companies indefinitely, growing cash flow rather than selling to return money to fund investors.

How large a company will SNH consider?

Its strategy page says it invests in companies with up to $75 million of annual EBITDA. It does not publish a minimum EBITDA, revenue or investment size, so smaller owners should ask directly.

Does SNH invest in managed IT service providers?

Yes. In December 2022 it announced a strategic investment in Five Nines, a managed IT provider serving clients across the Midwest, and Five Nines is still listed among its current investments.

Does the owner stay on after SNH invests?

Often. The firm says many founders choose to stay and lead their companies. After the November 2025 Arctic Fisheries investment, CEO Michael Kotok remained a shareholder and kept running the company with his team.
