Peninsula Capital Partners chose for its trademark the ICS letterflag (P) for its meaning: “Ready to Sail.” We believe the essence of this message applies ideally to transactional finance where a capital provider must be willing to “go to sea” for an extended period of time with a portfolio company. We understand when we make an investment that we are likely to be involved with the company for several years and that we will be called upon during good times and bad to assist management as they seek to grow their company.

We understand that superior companies have a choice of capital providers, making professional competence often the deciding factor in selecting a financial partner. Peninsula Capital Partners above all is a competent partner whose core competencies include:

Execution. Having the financial resources alone is insufficient to close a transaction. Experience, knowledge and determination are equally important assets, qualities for which Peninsula Capital Partners is well known.

Creativity. By their very nature, middle-market transactions require ingenuity and resourcefulness to complete. A financial provider should provide this creativity, not be looking to the company for solutions.

Multi-Tranche. Peninsula Capital Partners understands that a capital structure should be tailored to the unique needs of a company, often requiring multiple layers of junior capital such as subordinated debt and equity from the same source.

Non-Sponsored. Transactions that are not sponsored by a control equity investor comprise the largest segment of our investment program and are welcomed.

Professionals. Unlike most junior capital investment firms, Peninsula Capital’s investment professionals come from diverse backgrounds, including management, engineering, accounting, strategic consulting, investment banking, commercial lending and private equity investing.
