Cyprium’s investment approach allows for company owners and their management teams to retain controlling interest in their business after the completion of an investment. The firm can provide any combination of equity and/or debt securities from a single fund providing for capital flexibility and creative structuring that ultimately increases the likelihood of closing a transaction.

Cyprium strives to be a value-added investor that supports the growth, acquisition, refinancing or liquidity needs of private company owners and their management teams. Specifically, we look for companies that prefer an informed investor, one who has the capacity to provide creative solutions for strategic, operational and financial challenges.
