Ashland Capital Partners

Ashland Capital Partners is a Chicago‑based private investment firm founded in 2004 dedicated to investing in and growing companies within the middle market. We take a founder‑focused, partnership‑driven approach—providing patient, long‑term capital while preserving the culture, legacy, and values of the companies we invest in. Unlike traditional PE firms, our structure of family and individual accredited investors allows us the flexibility to invest without predefined exit constraints. Our ideal candidates are middle market businesses (typically $10M–$75M in revenue and $3M–$12M in EBITDA), based in the continental U.S, with strong management teams and proven profitability. We have significant experience in sectors such as manufacturing, industrials, B2B services, and niche industrial markets.
