Cantaris is an investment firm that acquires and scales small businesses into enduring platforms through disciplined acquisitions, operational excellence, and a long-term vision.
01
In the lower middle market, ideal companies simply don’t exist. Instead of waiting for the impossible, Cantaris identifies businesses with potential and transforms them from within.
02
We acquire profitable businesses with informal processes and roll up our sleeves: we professionalize operations, strengthen teams, and scale through strategic acquisitions.
03
We compound the value of our companies through disciplined execution and simplified operations because the best returns are found in doing the hard things.
We invest in businesses with lasting potential and partner with investors who share our values.
We deploy Cantaris Operating System (COS).
We combine the structured approach of EOS with a proprietary M&A playbook to create scalable platforms.
We do the hard work.
In our market, turnkey businesses don’t exist. We transform them from within.
We build integrated platforms.
We consolidate fragmented markets into focused, efficient, and scalable operations.
Our leadership team brings decades of success in business growth, mergers and acquisitions, and operational execution.
We value clarity, accountability, speed, and trust as the pillars of our work.
Clarity over complexity
Dream big, act boldly
We only work with people we respect
Act like an owner. Take full responsibility
What works today can be better tomorrow
Effort is not enough. We measure ourselves by impact. We focus, execute, and deliver
We do the right thing, even when it’s hard
We value autonomy, and the accountability that comes with it
