What does Permanent Equity do?

Permanent Equity is a private equity firm based in Columbia, Missouri, founded in 2007. The firm focuses on investing in North American companies that demonstrate durable value propositions, strong management teams, and sustainable cash flows. It targets businesses with net profits ranging from $1 million to $25 million and emphasizes long-term stewardship over short-term gains. The firm employs a "permanent capital" strategy, which means it does not intend to sell its portfolio companies. This approach encourages CEOs to reinvest profits and allows for indefinite holding periods. Permanent Equity currently manages 16 portfolio companies across various sectors, including aerospace and defense, consumer products, and niche construction. The firm also provides long-term capital without management fees, co-invests in its projects, and partners with owners looking to expand or transition their businesses.
