We buy lower middle-market businesses and run them ourselves.
KASS Capital is a New York–based investment firm that acquires profitable small and mid-sized companies alongside aligned capital partners. We are operators before we are investors. After closing, we are in the business — working on sales, operations, and the systems that let a good company get bigger without losing what made it good.
OUR VALUES
Kindness · Arete · Scale · Stewardship
Our name is our operating standard. Kindness, because the people inside a business determine whether it succeeds. Arete — the Greek idea of disciplined excellence in character and craft. Scale, meaning durable compounding rather than growth for its own sake. And Stewardship — of the businesses we acquire and the capital we use to acquire them.
Where we focus:
We are industry agnostic on paper and disciplined in practice. There three sectors are where we have operating experience, relationships, and a view that will drive value to your business:
Business Services
We invest in Business Services for their recurring revenue, operational leverage, and critical role in supporting other industries. We are especially focused on IT services and facility management. These sectors offer strong retention, scalable delivery models, and increasing demand as companies outsource non-core functions.
Our hands-on approach helps these businesses modernize operations, improve margins, and expand intelligently.
B2B Distribution
We invest in essential, customer-centric distribution and specialty supply businesses that serve professional buyers and commercial end markets. We focus on companies with durable customer relationships, repeat purchasing behavior, and clear opportunities to improve sales execution, operations, and scale.
Our team brings strategic support in areas like customer acquisition, channel expansion, and supply chain efficiency to help these businesses thrive.
Heath and Wellness
We invest in Health and Wellness businesses that address growing consumer demand for preventative care, mental well-being, and healthy lifestyles. We are focused on companies offering differentiated services, recurring revenue models, and strong community engagement—such as fitness, nutrition, and behavioral health platforms.
With our strong health and sports network, we help these businesses scale responsibly while staying true to their mission-driven roots.
Why do Owners Choose KASS?
-
We are not assembling a portfolio for a five-year exit clock. We buy businesses we intend to own for a long time, which changes what we're willing to do to them in year two.
-
Someone from KASS is in the business day to day after close. Not a monthly check-in. Actual operating responsibility.
-
We buy companies because of what they already are. Leadership, brand, and the culture that produced the results are assets we're paying for, not costs to be rationalized.
-
You'll get a clear read from us within two weeks of receiving materials. A fast no is worth more than a slow maybe.
Let’s Talk
If you own a business you're thinking about transitioning, or you're an advisor running a process, we'd like to hear from you. Every inquiry is read by a partner and answered within two (2) business days.
