TZP Group

TZP Group is a New York-based multi-strategy private equity firm with a primary focus on control investments in US-based business and consumer services companies. Since its inception, TZP Group has invested over $2.0 billion across its various strategies, demonstrating a significant footprint in the middle-market private equity landscape. The firm distinguishes itself through a disciplined approach to identifying and partnering with companies that exhibit strong growth potential and robust financial performance, leveraging its operational expertise to drive value creation.

The firm operates through three distinct investment strategies: TZP Capital, TZP Small Cap, and TZP Growth Equity. While the firm's core emphasis is on control investments, TZP Capital and TZP Small Cap are the primary vehicles for such transactions. TZP Capital targets established companies with enterprise values typically ranging from $100 million to $500 million, seeking to acquire controlling stakes. Complementing this, TZP Small Cap focuses on control investments in slightly smaller enterprises, with enterprise values generally between $50 million and $150 million. Across these control strategies, TZP seeks companies with EBITDA figures typically ranging from $10 million to $50 million, indicating a preference for profitable and scalable businesses.

Beyond their core control investment activities, TZP Group also manages TZP Growth Equity, which engages in minority investments in high-growth companies. This strategy targets businesses with enterprise values from $50 million to $250 million, aiming to support their expansion without necessarily taking a controlling stake. This diversified approach allows TZP to engage with a broader spectrum of companies within its target sectors, from mature businesses seeking strategic partners to rapidly expanding ventures requiring growth capital. Their most recent fund closes include TZP Capital Partners IV at $1.2 billion in 2021, TZP Small Cap Partners II at $400 million in 2022, and TZP Growth Equity Partners at $250 million in 2023, reflecting continued investor confidence in their multi-faceted investment model.
