AEP listens and works with our partners to identify what they need and provide them the resources to grow.
 

Unique Focus

Our differentiated strategy is centered on the long-standing focus on founder or family-owned mid-size businesses (typically from $15-100 million in enterprise value) and a deep understanding and appreciation of the unique challenges and opportunities such businesses present. We approach our transactions with a flexible investment structuring while putting priority on speed and responsiveness.
