Buttonwood Capital Management, LLC is a Los Angeles-based specialty finance investment firm that acquires and manages financing companies serving small and midsize businesses. Its focus is niche small-business financing, including equipment, inventory, leasing and working-capital products, with portfolio lending reaching borrowers nationwide. The firm also seeks operational improvements across its portfolio and pursues asset-backed securitization or similar asset-management strategies. Its ownership and operating role in specialty-finance companies, rather than a real estate sponsor LP model, defines its investment approach.
