About Us
At Compass Partners, our strategy is to target proven, profitable businesses within our target sectors. These businesses will provide their customer bases with critical information, proprietary content, and value-added outsourced services. We believe that our senior-level operating experience in our target sectors combined with our private equity track record, and our value-added relationships, will position Compass Partners to outperform in the middle-market.
