SMB Investment Expertise
Institutional-Grade Access to America's Most Overlooked Asset Class
Mid Market Investing provides qualified institutional investors with direct, structured access to high-quality small and medium-sized businesses across New York. We apply rigorous underwriting discipline, disciplined entry valuations, and a long-term ownership philosophy to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns — with low correlation to public equity markets.
Strategic Investment Expertise Across the SMB Landscape
Strategic Investment Expertise Across the SMB Landscape
Mid Market Investing was founded to bring institutional rigor to an asset class long dominated by fragmented, relationship-driven dealmaking. We bridge the gap between institutional capital and the SMB market — providing structured access, transparent underwriting, and alignment of interests that sophisticated investors demand. Our investment thesis is grounded in one durable tailwind: generational business ownership transfer. As millions of profitable, owner-operated businesses seek succession buyers over the next decade, disciplined acquirers with capital and operational expertise are positioned to generate exceptional returns at attractive entry points.
Proprietary Deal Sourcing
We operate through trusted local networks, advisor relationships, and community-level intelligence across New York — giving us access to off-market transactions unavailable to institutional buyers competing through traditional M&A channels.
Institutional Underwriting Standards
Every opportunity is subject to rigorous financial modeling, operational stress-testing, and market diligence. We target businesses with stable, recurring cash flows, defensible competitive positions, and clear levers for margin improvement — and we walk away when these criteria aren't met.
Disciplined Entry Valuation
We acquire at 3–6x LTM EBITDA — a margin of safety that provides downside protection and creates room for returns through both earnings growth and multiple expansion. We do not chase deals.
Long-Term Value Creation Orientation
We partner with businesses to professionalize operations, improve financial reporting, and unlock strategic growth — not to flip assets. Our holding philosophy reflects the patient capital approach that has consistently outperformed in private markets.
A Disciplined Approach to Private Investing
Mid Market Investing partners with long-term, value-oriented investors to identify high-quality, underfollowed businesses with strong fundamentals. Our focus is on disciplined underwriting, downside protection, and sustainable value creation across market cycles.

Commit & Close
The MMI Investment Process
Investor Verification & Onboarding
Qualified investors complete our streamlined accreditation and onboarding process. We conduct a brief introductory call to understand your capital objectives, return requirements, and portfolio context before presenting opportunities.
Proprietary Opportunity Sourcing
Our team identifies off-market and lightly marketed SMB transactions through exclusive networks and relationships across the New York market. Deals are never sourced through broad auction processes
Institutional-Grade Underwriting
Each opportunity undergoes comprehensive financial, operational, and market analysis. We provide investors with a detailed investment memo covering business quality, risk factors, valuation methodology, return scenarios, and exit pathways -before any capital is committed.
Deal-by-Deal Investor Participation
Investors review the investment memo and participate on a per-deal basis. There is no requirement to commit capital to every transaction. This structure preserves investor discretion and portfolio management flexibility.
Active Value Creation & Portfolio Management
Post-acquisition, we work closely with management teams to execute operational improvements, strengthen financials, and position businesses for optimal exit outcomes. Investors receive regular reporting throughout the holding period.
