Who We Are

V&A Capital is a New York-based private equity firm focused on investing in US lower middle market companies operating primarily in the manufacturing and distribution spaces.

About V&A Capital

What We Do

We invest in positive cash flow niche businesses that:

  • Are transitioning from owner-operated companies or experiencing management changes.
  • Are experiencing temporary financial or operational performance challenges.
  • Have lower than average gross margins but are trending positively.
  • Have an element of cyclicality but are niche leaders in their market segments.
  • Have potential legacy liabilities such as pension or other post-employment benefits.
  • Serve end-markets that are out of favor in the mainstream investor community.
Investment Criteria
OUR FOCUS

V&A focuses on companies that have an element of complexity often related to management or owner transitions, carve outs from larger organizations, or discrete operational challenges but are otherwise niche leaders within their markets with positive cash flow.
