Company Description:
Copley Equity Partners is a private investment firm based in Boston, MA and Denver, CO. Copley invests in established lower middle market businesses with significant growth prospects.

Copley invests across a broad range of industries, but we are focused solely on lower middle market businesses. Copley's investment capital can be used for shareholder liquidity, acquisition financing, and growth initiatives. As a firm, we look to maintain a limited portfolio of investments at any given time in order to maximize dedication to company success. As investors, we devote substantial time and resources towards recruiting talent, identifying acquisitions and other business development initiatives.
