Perpetual Capital Corp acquires and grows lower middle market businesses with permanent capital. No fund lifecycles. No forced exits. Just disciplined capital and long-term partnerships.
We believe that lower middle market businesses in Florida represent one of the most compelling opportunities in private markets today — yet they remain chronically underserved by institutional capital.
Traditional private equity imposes artificial timelines on fundamentally long-duration assets. We take a different approach: buy great businesses, partner with their operators, and hold them permanently.
Our evergreen structure means management teams build generational businesses knowing the capital behind them isn't going anywhere.
No fund cycles. No forced exits. Our capital matches the long-term ambitions of the businesses we acquire.
We partner with management teams who think in decades. Incentives stay aligned because there's no exit clock.
Deep knowledge of the Florida market. Population growth, business-friendly policy, and a large pool of owner-operated businesses reaching transition.
We target established businesses with strong fundamentals and owner-operators ready for a long-term capital partner.
$1M – $10M in annual revenue. Established businesses with a real track record, not early-stage bets.
Florida-based businesses. We know this market and can provide hands-on support where it matters.
Positive cash flow with healthy margins. We're buying businesses that work, not turnarounds.
Strong operator in place or willingness to stay through transition. We back people, not just balance sheets.
Industry-agnostic with emphasis on services, light manufacturing, healthcare services, and specialty distribution.
Owner retirements, partner buyouts, or growth capital needs. Clean transitions where permanent capital is the right fit.
A disciplined, transparent process built on respect for the businesses and people we work with.
We source opportunities through brokers, advisors, direct outreach, and referral relationships across Florida.
Initial review of financials, market position, and fit. We move quickly and respect your time.
Thorough but efficient due diligence. We aim to understand the business deeply, not just check boxes.
Close and begin the real work. Long-term capital, aligned incentives, and operational support from day one.
Whether you're a business owner considering a transition, a broker with a relevant opportunity, or an advisor exploring options for a client — we'd like to hear from you.
