Devonshire Partners

Overview

Devonshire Partners is a private investment and advisory firm that focuses on founder- and family-backed businesses in the United States. They believe in a long-term, value-based approach to investing and a business philosophy centered around humility and integrity. They look for companies where traditional private equity is not a fit due to investment horizons, seller preferences, and/or transaction complexity. Their mission is to help businesses and their managers achieve new, higher levels of success and influence. They provide strategic advice, long-term capital, liquidity for owners, and day-to-day management support to ensure long-term business continuity. Whether you are an owner, broker, or would like to discuss specific investment or consulting opportunities, please feel free to contact them. Unlike traditional private equity firms or other institutional buyers, their investment strategy is to buy and hold, giving them the flexibility and patience to help each business grow. They are investors whose financial interests are directly aligned with the fortunes of the businesses they invest in. That means any business they invest in receives not only their capital but also their time and attention. They don't have a short-term investment horizon that dictates their decision-making or creates pressure to make unnecessary changes. They behave as if they will own forever. They've worked with companies of all sizes across industries. They understand the day-to-day challenges businesses face, and they have personal experience helping businesses improve and grow. They take a hands-on approach to their investments, only when it is helpful. Their approach is to be a supportive partner, and they are always available to help management teams solve problems, improve operations, and grow.
