CanopyHR Attracts Investment From Claritas Capital


IRVINE, Calif. --(Business Wire)--

CanopyHR Solutions, a progressive Orange (News - Alert) County-based payroll and human resources company, shows more signs of strength and growth potential with the latest financial investment by Claritas Capital Fund III, LP.

"We like efficient business models," says Theresa Sexton, Vice President at Claritas. "We think CanopyHR is a compelling investment opportunity for our firm and for our investors. They have significant experience, and they're innovative entrepreneurs with appropriate equity and the promise of smart, healthy growth."

Claritas focuses on development stage investing in companies with strong potential, and then uses its network of resources to add value and keep that momentum. CanopyHR caught the investor's attention with its solid management team and attractive financial structure, along with the endorsement of fellow CanopyHR investor Robert G. Allison, Founder and CEO of Innovate Partners and longtime advisor to Claritas.

Industry observers typically note CanopyHR's tremendous opportunities for growth, due in large part to the trend toward outsourcing in conjunction with the company's innovative integration of technology. Combined with CanopyHR's reputation for high-quality service, the upward growth trend of the copany is likely to continue.



"We believe CanopyHR is poised to take a leadership position in the marketplace," says Allison. "The additional resources from Claritas Capital will bolster the company's ability to execute its plans and take better advantage of its integrated solutions and efficient business model on a larger scale."

Claritas has a long track record involving HR technology solutions, and they intend to participate in CanopyHR's growth as the thriving HR firm acquires additional clients and continues to make its mark in a rapidly changing industry.
