KB CAPITAL PARTNERS
An independent sponsor acquiring franchisors, franchisees in systems with scale, and independents with replicable unit economics.
KB Capital leverages two decades of investing in consumer-facing businesses for Goldman Sachs and GE Capital to determine which brands, which markets and which operators we pursue.
In practice, that means arriving at a deal already knowing the system's unit economics, which operators outperform their brand and which are carried by it. We buy control, keep management in place wherever we can, and build from there through add-ons and select new units.
Twenty-plus years originating and underwriting capital for consumer and multi-unit businesses, including restaurant, fitness, car wash and home services, from smaller operators to national platforms.
Mike was most recently a Director in the Specialty Lending Group at Goldman Sachs, where he spent a decade, following thirteen years at GE Capital Franchise Finance as a Managing Director and SVP of Sales. He holds a BS in Finance and Operations Management from Boston College.
