ABOUT PRATT FINANCIAL SERVICES
Pratt Financial Services is an Atlanta based private equity firm specializing in the financial services arena, with a particular focus in banking services, commercial finance, and consumer finance companies.  Pratt Financial is an affiliate of Pratt Holdings, a global manufacturing leader of paper and paper based packaging products based in Australia and the United States.
Pratt Financial Services invests in financial services related companies that exhibit strong growth opportunities, experienced management teams, and a sustainable competitive position in their niche.  We structure our private equity investments based on each company’s circumstances.  Our goal is to maximize our return as a minority or majority stakeholder, and believe a long term view is often essential to achieve this objective.


 COMMERCIAL/CONSUMER FINANCE
In the areas of consumer and commercial finance, the changing dynamic of credit parameters among the leading financial institutions has led to a large segment of potential borrowers who are unable to access capital, Pratt Financial Services is seeking majority and minority investments in companies that have demonstrated an ability to effectively manage the “risk/reward” ratio in this sector, yielding above average returns.


 BANKING SERVICES
We continue to believe that the community bank sector offers opportunity for investment, particularly as valuations continue to readjust.  Our backgrounds and experience position us as a key resource from which management can draw financial as well as strategic and operational guidance. Further lines of business outside the regulatory environment, such as payment processing, funds management, and other peripheral services to banking, also remain attractive to PFS.
