## The Firm

CapitalSpring is a Nashville-based specialist in foodservice and multi-location consumer businesses, with $4.4 billion invested across more than 100 investments in over seventy brands, writing checks from $10 million to $150 million and up in both equity and debt. The sector focus is the identity: restaurants, franchised and independent, plus the service and technology businesses attached to them.

Its registry presence marks the strategy's expansion into home services and adjacent trades: a nine-market Mister Sparky electrician franchisee, the second-largest in that system, and Coast Sign, a signage manufacturer, both added in 2025. The multi-location operating playbook it built in restaurants transfers directly to franchise trades of every kind.

For searchers in sign manufacturing or electrical work, CapitalSpring is what a sector specialist looks like when it crosses into your trade: deep multi-unit operating resources, both debt and equity flexibility, and a management-team-first underwriting model. The facts to carry are the foodservice origin, the hundred-investment record, the check-size range, and the franchise-system logic driving its newer bets.

Read again in September 2026: one investment since the electrical franchisee, a fitness franchisor in February 2026, and the firm's own news page never carried the electrical release at all, which is why that row rests on a wire. The firm's own news page is forty link cards to outside pages and carries Coast Sign but not the Mister Sparky release, which lives on a wire alone and calls itself a majority investment, the verb the row carries. Nothing else in signs or electrical since 2022.

## Confirmed Deals

Deals traced to announcements, newest first. Firms that announce every deal show a fuller run here than firms that report acquisitions as quarterly counts, so read this as the evidence that clears the bar rather than as the firm's whole record.
