CIVC Partners

CIVC Partners, previously known as Continental Illinois Venture Corporation, is a Chicago-based private equity firm that presently has over $1.8 billion of equity capital under management. The firm's predecessor was established in 1970 as a subsidiary of Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Company. CIVC Partners provides growth and buyout capital to middle-market companies engaged in business services, utility and infrastructure services, facility services, transportation & logistics, outsourced services, environmental services, IT services, software & tech-enabled services, insurance services, compliance and risk management, digital marketing services and financial technology.[1] When Continental Illinois was acquired in 1994 by Bank of America, the CIVC team formed a semi-independent private equity firm, CIVC Partners, with backing from Bank of America.
