CAPEND delivers you better results, faster
We started Capend to facilitate the effective, efficient, and expedient acquisition of a select group of privately held lower middle-market businesses by modernizing and personalizing the already successful search fund model. Our framework creates great outcomes for stakeholders—through decades of experience and many lessons learned the hard way—providing servant-leadership and a selfless approach to guiding the business.
why we are different
Capend was founded to create a better exit plan for owners/founders of exceptional businesses, with a focus and commitment toward legacy continuation. Each business we partner with has created the foundation from which the next generation of growth can spur from.
“The speed at which Capend penetrates an issue and arrives at a realistic, often different approach is impressive. A truly exceptional firm that combines strategic industry competence with a feel for how organizations and large-scale projects can be changed. ”
