About Belrose
03Kyle Ellis started Belrose Capital to find a small business to acquire, operate, and grow through day to day dedication and hard work. He has always had an entrepreneurial mindset, applying an "if it isn't broke, break it" mentality throughout his career, building a strong foundation of sustainable, growth-oriented problem-solving and process improvement skills.
Belrose is Kyle's sole career and focus. It isn't a fund, a rollup, or a private-equity-backed entity. Belrose is a strategic buyer primed to execute, purchase, and scale the foundation of an owner-operated business.
Kyle spent over a decade working alongside a diverse set of business owners and executives, from regional lower-middle market companies to upper-middle market global enterprises. At Crowe, he led financial statement audits and consolidation accounting for companies with $300M to over $1B in revenue. At Windsor, he managed investment portfolios for ultra high net worth business owners, assessed private investment funds and deals, and consulted as a personal CFO, which from time to time included collaborating and advising on client related buy and sell side transactions. All facets of his experience sharpened his skills around business transactions, financial analysis and value creation, while also fine-tuning his emotional intelligence, allowing him to quickly build trusting relationships and lead adaptively.
Given Kyle's versatile background and expertise, Belrose is built for the right opportunity within any industry. For sellers, this means working with a buyer who will take the time to understand the business — not just someone running the numbers and making an offer.
Born and raised in Cleveland, Kyle has lived in Columbus for over a decade, where he resides with his wife and two daughters. Kyle's commitment to success is grounded in his family and friends.
