Taylor Capital Group

Taylor Capital Group

Timothy Taylor formed Taylor Capital Group in 2009 in Rosemont, Illinois, drawing on a career that included principal investing and structured finance at middle-market institutions. The firm was built as a vehicle for Taylor's own capital and later opened to a select group of co-investors, creating a structure that blends family-office patience with external discipline. Taylor Capital Group's base in the Chicago suburbs places it inside a dense network of family-held manufacturers, distributors, and specialty finance companies that make up the core of its sourcing universe. The firm pursues control-oriented private equity, distressed and special-situation credit, and select structured equity investments. Taylor Capital Group has publicly participated in transactions involving healthcare services, enterprise software, and specialty finance platforms, though the firm maintains a deliberately low public profile. Its credit practice targets overleveraged middle-market companies where traditional lenders have retreated, while equity efforts center on founder transitions and corporate carve-outs. Geographically, the firm concentrates on North America, with particular depth in the Midwest and select Sun Belt markets. Taylor Capital Group runs a lean structure consistent with a principal-first investor. The firm does not publicly disclose headcount or assets under management. It operates from its Rosemont headquarters and has not publicized additional offices. The group has built relationships with other family offices and independent sponsors across Chicago, often participating in small-club deals rather than broad syndications. In recent years, Taylor has expanded sourcing through a network of operating partners with domain expertise in healthcare revenue-cycle management and enterprise SaaS. Taylor Capital Group's structural differentiator is its willingness to hold assets for indefinite periods without the pressure of a fund-return clock—a posture that resembles a permanent-hold family office but operates alongside external co-investors who receive liquidity through dividend recapitalizations and partial exits rather than scheduled fund closes. This architecture attracts sellers who value transaction certainty and buyers who seek long-duration compounded returns without forced exit timelines.
