PE experience you can stand on.

Successfully investing in lower middle market business services for 20+ years.

Value creation you can build on.

Targeting 3x–8x outcomes through strategic roadmaps that support next-stage growth.

Partnership you can count on.

Leveraging 80+ investments alongside 40+ founders to create meaningful wealth.

A Track record you can RELY on. 

Traditional PE often shows up fast, forceful and ego-first. 


This makes founders feel like passengers inside their own companies. That rarely works, so we founded Southfield Capital to help your company reach higher and realize your growth goals — without the typical PE pressurized playbook.
