Taurus Capital Partners represents long-term capital partnership for exceptional, values-driven businesses from experienced operators and investors.
Why We Founded the Firm
There has never been more capital available to growing, profitable lower middle market businesses who want to sell. While that is a great dynamic for maximizing value today, it often comes with the hard-to-appreciate, long-term risk of working with investors who think they understand your business better than you do. Entrepreneurs know that all the elements that made their business successful in the first place - incredible products and services, well-earned customer relationships, and employees and a company culture that have made that all possible - can quickly disappear without the right vision, leadership and long-term alignment.
Headquartered in the Midwest, Taurus Capital Partners was founded in direct response to that dynamic. We are experienced operators and investors, people who have not only sat alongside company leaders as investors but who have been in that seat ourselves - who understand what it takes to roll up your sleeves and build something meaningful. We exist to acquire family-owned businesses from entrepreneurs who care deeply about their company and its people, who are ready to take a step back, and who need a partner who can help realize the long-term potential for the business they have built.
