TGP INVESTMENTS, LLC

Thesis

TGP Investments, LLC is a private equity firm founded in 2005, specializing in control-oriented investments in the lower middle market, primarily within the United States, with a focus on the Midwest and Southeast. They target profitable, growing companies, often family-founded, with enterprise values below $150 million, revenues between $10 million and $50 million, and EBITDA over $2 million. Their strategy involves acquiring majority control and utilizing the operational expertise of their partners to professionalize and grow companies. They actively engage with management teams, providing capital and strategic insights. Origination relies on partner operating backgrounds and relationships with regional intermediaries, avoiding competitive auctions. Preferred sectors include business services, niche industrial manufacturing, healthcare services, and consumer products, explicitly excluding financial institutions, real estate, retail, and start-ups. TGP Investments primarily seeks control investments with equity checks ranging from $3 million to $10 million, but also engages in minority investments and creative transaction structures, partnering with proven management teams and aligning incentives through equity participation. One profile indicates $57 million USD under management.
