Welcome to Circle City Capital (CCC), where our singular goal is to discover, acquire, and grow a local small business in Central Indiana. If you’re a small business owner considering the sale of your company, we offer a unique opportunity to not only ensure the continuation of your legacy but also to see it flourish. We are committed to identifying a business like yours and leveraging our resources and expertise to enhance its growth and impact in the community. Join us in this exciting journey towards shared success and lasting development in our local economy.
CCC is not a private equity firm. Instead, we adopt the pioneering search fund model, first introduced at Stanford in 1984, to unearth and develop high-potential investment opportunities. This model marks a departure from traditional private equity frameworks, placing a stronger emphasis on fostering the growth and success of small businesses rather than merely financial transactions.
Our entrepreneurial approach is rooted in identifying, acquiring, managing, and scaling private companies. This strategy has historically achieved substantial returns for investors while preserving and enhancing the intrinsic values of small businesses—values often overshadowed in conventional private equity deals.
CCC is committed to acquiring and uplifting a small to medium-sized enterprise in Central Indiana. Our mission is twofold: to maximize the business’s value through strategic development and resource allocation, and to create a lasting positive impact on the community it serves. We aim to foster sustainable growth, ensuring the business we partner with thrives and contributes significantly to the local economy.
CCC targets companies with an EBITDA ranging from $1 million to $5 million and revenue between $10 million and $25 million.
Partnering with CCC means more than just a successful sale; it’s about enhancing the legacy of your business. Our diverse and experienced investor group brings not only financial strength but also credibility and a broad spectrum of perspectives. This diversity is crucial in addressing challenges and driving the growth of your business post-acquisition. With CCC, you gain a partner committed to the success and longevity of your enterprise.
Operating from Indianapolis, Indiana, our search is strategically and opportunistically conducted in and around the city, focusing on deals that align with CCC’s acquisition criteria and offer significant growth potential.
