Bedford Capital Corporation is a merchant banking and advisory firm founded in 1993. Bedford makes direct investments and offers consulting services to companies that can benefit from the firm's extensive industry contacts and investment and operating experience. Bedford's principals are all owners and/or present or former senior executives of major manufacturing, entertainment, business services, waste management, and real-estate companies. This provides the firm, portfolio companies and clients with the benefit of the principal's strong financial, managerial and operating experience, as well as access to extensive industry contacts.

Initially focused primarily on the forest products and waste management industries, Bedford has become well known for its expertise in the manufacturing, service and waste management industries. The firm has since broadened its investment parameters to include companies that have demonstrated consistent profitability and revenue growth in the business and consumer services industries.

Bedford prefers to make controlling investments in niche companies in which its partners' industry knowledge, contacts and operating experience could add value.

Bedford has also handled 15 advisory and agency assignments, including merger and acquisition advice, debt and equity capital placements and technical advisory services.
