We seek profitable,
asset-light companies with a clear growth path.

We especially like niche market leaders with defensible positions in Business Services, Consumer, Healthcare Services, and Industrials. Talented, ambitious management teams helm the businesses we invest in, all of which are headquartered in the United States or Canada. We’re flexible capital partners who tailor transactions to parties’ specific needs. When assessing businesses, Sentinel prioritizes potential, not perfection.

Private Equity

We’ve partnered with founders, family owners, corporations divesting assets, and executives seeking the right investment partner. We have the flexibility to invest in management buyouts, carveouts and divestitures, family businesses, going-private transactions, and special situations.

Capital Solutions

Drawing on Sentinel’s heritage as a value-added private equity partner, we help businesses achieve their capital structure goals. We are flexible and creative—we invest in noncontrol solutions up and down the balance sheet, including unitranche, senior or subordinated debt, and dividend-paying preferred or common equity structured as cash pay or PIK.
