A national record of lower middle market ownership transitions, the verified independent sponsors that have bought companies like them, and the capital observed financing those deals. Facts, inferences and estimates are labelled as such, with the source and the date, on every row.

Capital

Who has financed independent sponsors, by what the announcements named

Every provider seen beside an independent sponsor on an announced deal, with the sponsors it financed, the roles the announcement named, and the first and latest dates. Observed, never claimed: a provider is here because a deal announcement put it there. Counts undercount, because most come from lenders' own archives.
