Sun Capital Partners, Inc., is a private investment firm focused on leveraged buyouts, equity, debt, and other investments in market-leading companies. Sun Capital has invested in more than 280 companies worldwide with combined sales in excess of $40 billion since Sun Capital’s inception in 1995. Sun Capital has offices in Boca Raton, Los Angeles, New York, and affiliates in London, Paris, Frankfurt, Luxembourg, Shanghai, and Shenzhen.
Sun Capital has approximately $8 billion of capital under management and often bridges the entire purchase price at closing, raising permanent debt financing afterwards.
The company targets companies with up to $5 billion or more of revenues, but many of the transactions are with businesses with sales between $50 million and $500 million. A staff of approximately 150 people and a decisive approach to business enables them to close deals within 30 days compared to three to six months for most other buyers. Appropriate acquisition and investment targets may include private businesses, divisions of larger companies, and publicly-traded companies. Sun Capital affiliates have also acquired and invested in businesses through bank workout groups, Chapter 11 proceedings, and from other private investment firms.
