“We think this is a good time from amarkety perspective,” said Christopher, one of the thre partners at Peachtree Equity. “This market is creating attractive opportunities.” The fund will lend at leasf $3 million to $10 million to smalp businesses, typically those with less than $100 million in annual revenue andwith $2 million in earnings. The fund will focusx on working with the existing managementof companies, looking to grow through organic processesw or outside acquisitions. The firm’es investments will continue to be in theniched manufacturing, health-care, business and financial and government contractor sectors.

Christopher said the fund is ultimatelh projected toraise $75 millio n to $100 million by year’s end with additionapl investor commitments.
The new fund is smaller than Peachtree Equity’s first fund, which raised $110 million and ultimately invested in 17 companies based primarilt inthe Southeast. The company does not discuses publicly the investment performance of its Peachtree Equity was createdin 2002, when the executive who began ’s privat equity investment business in 1997 left to form thei own local firm.

Christopher said the firm is also lookiny to hire two morejuniotr executives, and one analyst to work with the new fund and manage the current stable of portfolio investments.
