Essential Businesses. Built to Last.
Brace Capital Partners acquires controlling stakes in blue-collar essential services, commercial services, and residential service businesses with tangible potential for scalability and growth.
The people on both sides of a deal
We work with the owners who built the business, the operators who run it, and the capital that backs it.
Owners
You built something your community relies on. We offer a way to realize that value while protecting what makes the business work — and the runway to keep growing.
Operators
We back capable owner-operators and management teams who aren't done building, giving them the capital and structure to keep growing.
Investors
We partner with capital that shares our discipline: patient, hands-on investing in blue-collar essential services, commercial services, and residential service with real staying power.
How we work
People First
We back operators, not balance sheets. We partner with the team that built the business and isn't done building.
Protect the Downside
We underwrite conservatively and structure every deal so the business — and the people in it — can weather a storm.
Flexible Time Horizons
We're not bound to the industry's standard five-year hold. We stay open to alternative structures for returning capital, and hold longer when our conviction in a business warrants.
Shared Upside
Meaningful rollover and economic alignment mean the people who build the value share in what it becomes.
Experience behind every offer
Over their careers, the partners of Brace Capital have together closed 60+ acquisitions representing more than $850 million in enterprise value — from small tuck-ins to companies with more than $5 million of EBITDA.
