Providers of Mezzanine Capital to the Middle Market

SFSP Mission

South Franklin Street Partners’ mission is to be a melting pot for the interests our investors, associates, portfolio companies and their stakeholders through which all are enriched. The alchemy we hope to achieve is the employment of our investors’ capital as well as our time and effort in great lower middle market companies whose leadership has a vision for outstanding achievement. If we maintain this vision and diligently adhere to our principles, we believe all involved will prosper.

Guiding Principles

We will endeavor to be:

Trusted stewards of peoples’ savings and a good partner for those who manage those savings and have so entrusted us.
Thoughtful, helpful and patient partners to our portfolio company management teams as they build businesses that serve the ever changing needs of their customers, employees, owners, suppliers, and communities;
A work place where people are given the tools to grow personally and professionally so they are better equipped to support our portfolio companies and thus facilitate our mission; and
Mindful of the responsibility to return to the community something of the success we enjoy.
