Crown Capital Partners Inc. ("Crown Capital") is a specialty investment manager providing alternative debt financing for private equity backed and non-sponsored middle market transactions from offices in Toronto and Calgary. Crown Capital was founded in 2000 as a successor company of Crown Life Insurance Company and is wholly owned by its management partners. For its investors, Crown Capital provides a strong track record of effective investment management in the alternative debt space.

In 2011, Crown Capital entered into a strategic partnership with Hesperian Capital Management Ltd. ("Hesperian"), portfolio manager of Norrep Group of Funds, whereby Hesperian will, pending regulatory and other approvals, acquire an equity interest in Crown Capital.

Crown Capital's team specializes in financing solutions featuring subordinated term and bridge loans for acquisitions, management buy-outs, growth financings and recapitalizations. By looking through to the true value of the underlying business, Crown Capital provides Canadian businesses with an increased level of leverage not available from traditional financing sources. We are a value added partner and work with a company's management team to ensure the optimal capital solution. Crown Capital typically invests $5 million to $25 million in any one transaction and is capable of financing significantly larger transactions.
