What Summit Park buys

Summit Park is a Charlotte, North Carolina private equity firm, founded in 2006, that makes control investments in lower middle market services and products companies. On the services side it targets professional services, commercial and industrial services, and consumer and residential services. On the products side it targets manufacturing, value-added distribution and consumer products. Its current search themes include critical power and electrical services; septic, plumbing and grease trap services; water mitigation and restoration; overhead door and dock services; test and measurement; specialty distribution; and bakery manufacturing.

Summit Park looks for companies with $20 million to $150 million of revenue and $4 million to $15 million of EBITDA, with high gross margins and recurring or repeat demand. It says it has deployed more than $2.3 billion across 60+ investments through four institutional funds, and most of its recent deals are add-ons. A smaller owner is most likely to meet the firm through a platform that is actively buying, such as StableDry, Michelli, Exacta, Curion, Hylaine, DX Electric or Freedom Electronics.

Greymont’s take

How Summit Park fits a seller

Summit Park suits founders selling for the first time who want to keep a stake and stay involved. The firm says 82% of its founders keep equity after closing, and it is often a company's first outside investor. Its add-on releases describe most deals as recapitalizations, such as Wolfe Construction and Total Scale Service, rather than outright purchases. Summit Park also brings in help: an in-house team for finance, talent and growth, plus LEAD program executives placed inside portfolio companies. That can strengthen a lean founder team, but it also means new people, new reporting and outside board members. Owners should ask how much equity they would roll, what role they would keep, and how much debt the deal would carry, since the firm says it is conservative with leverage.
