Our Strategy
CVF Capital Partners seeks to invest in small and medium-sized businesses in a range of industries across the Western United States. CVF can provide both debt and equity capital in flexible and creative capital structures, either as a standalone investor or with investment partners.
Where We Invest
Central Valley
Venturing into the heart of California, the Central Valley, we recognize its increasing potential. Spanning 19 inland counties and hosting approximately 18% of the state's population, this region anticipates the fastest growth in California through 2040. While agriculture is its cornerstone, the Central Valley's diversified economy extends into industrials, business services, consumer discretionary, materials, and information technology. CVF sees the Central Valley as fertile ground for investment, driven by its favorable location, climate, cost of living and quality of life, attracting businesses poised for growth.
California
Starting off in the golden state of California, where opportunity thrives, we strategically navigate the dynamic terrain of the area's growing economy, boasting a GDP of $4.1 trillion and contributing over 14% to the total U.S. GDP. At CVF, we know that smaller transactions are often overlooked by larger providers, that is why we are focused on investing in the diverse sectors of the state's leading industries, such as financial services, professional and business services and manufacturing. Our commitment to California’s market has elevated us as a premier provider of mezzanine capital to lower-middle-market businesses across the entire state.
Pacific Northwest
Turning our gaze towards the Pacific Northwest, we capitalize on its stellar rankings in numerous business studies and its recognized growth prospects. While larger investment funds gravitate towards urban markets, CVF recognizes the untapped potential in less-urban areas, particularly for lower-middle-market companies hungry for event-driven capital. With investments already made and a burgeoning deal network established, CVF stands poised to nurture small business growth and investment in the region. Our deep-rooted experience in Washington and Oregon positions us as ideal partners for local entrepreneurs, ready to propel their ventures to new heights.
