Frequently asked questions

What type of consumer companies does Ivest Consumer Partners target?

Ivest Consumer Partners targets established middle-market consumer brands across food and beverage, health and wellness, personal care, and branded luxury categories. The firm looks for businesses with demonstrable brand equity that need an ownership transition, operational overhaul, or growth capital to reach the next stage. Its focus is North American, with an emphasis on companies that can benefit from cross-border expansion between Canada and the United States.

What transaction types does the firm pursue?

The firm executes buyouts, growth equity investments, management buyouts, corporate divestitures, and complex situations. That range allows it to serve as a solution for family-run founders seeking liquidity, corporate parents carving out non-core consumer divisions, and management teams looking to acquire the business they run. The common thread is consumer-focused businesses where operational complexity masks intrinsic brand value.
