Clover Capital Partners

Clover Capital is a leading investor of food & beverage companies in the smaller end of the middle market. Our flexible investing approach is inspired by the diverse needs of privately-held businesses and of the individuals who own and operate them. We dedicate ourselves to a limited number of companies at a time, providing financial capital, operating resources, and strategic leadership, and are capable of filling operating roles when appropriate. Clover Capital invests primarily in control transactions of profitable companies with up to $100 million in annual sales. We partner with owner-operators who want to remain active in their businesses and pursue additional growth with the help of a financial partner. We are also an attractive option to business owners who seek retirement or a gradual transition away from their day-to-day responsibilities, and to management teams who want to buy out an owner and take (more) ownership in the businesses they operate. Our investing strategy is unique and unusually long-term oriented. Our capital base allows us to hold investments indefinitely versus the 3 - 7 year time horizon of private equity firms. Through our venture capital affiliate, Clover Vitality, we also invest in high-growth start-up food & beverage companies.
