Sellers & Capital Raising

Get help from a certified Buyside Mergers and Acquisitions Intermediary to maximize your probability of executing the best possible deal.

Our extensive network of private-equity, family offices, strategic corporation buyer& investor clients enables us to match business owners with the right, high-quality potential buyers that specialize in investing and acquiring companies in your industry to help ensure successful transactions. We have executed over 50 buyside transactions worth over $800 million in transaction value since 2014.

Capital Raising
We have achieved this by being transparent and fair to business owners. We know that owners of small mid-sized businesses pour their blood and sweat into their businesses. We understand the long-term implications of a sale and always seek to match business owners with the most suited buyer clients in terms of business strategy and culture, and most importantly, price. We work closely with you to help you appraise your business so that you can set a price that is based on market facts, rather than gut feeling. Additionally, we never pressure you to accept an offer you are not comfortable with.
