Sectors we cover
Every industry is valued differently. Select a sector to see the areas we follow and what buyers and investors look for.
Industrial & manufacturing
Buyers look closely at customer concentration, the condition of equipment, and how much revenue repeats each year. We help owners show the strength of their contracts and the capacity left in the plant.
- Precision manufacturing
- Industrial technology
- Specialty chemicals
- Packaging
- Aerospace components
- Distribution
Business services
Value rests on recurring contracts, client retention, and how much of the business runs without its founder. We present the team and the client base alongside the financials.
- Professional services
- Facilities services
- Staffing
- Testing & inspection
- Outsourced services
Healthcare services
Investors focus on payer mix, provider retention, and regulatory compliance. Preparing these answers early keeps diligence on schedule.

Technology & software
Recurring revenue, customer retention, and product depth drive valuations. We translate technical strengths into terms financial buyers can price.

Contract length, asset quality, and regulation are the first questions. We match these businesses with buyers and lenders who understand long-life assets.

How an engagement runs
Five stages from first meeting to closing. You always know what comes next and who is responsible for it.
Assessment
We review the business, what drives its value, and your goals and timing.
Preparation
We build the financial analysis and the materials buyers and investors will read.
Positioning
We write the investment case and choose which buyers or investors to approach.
Marketing
We contact them confidentially and keep them competing on a set timeline.
Closing
We negotiate terms, manage diligence with your advisors, and see the deal through.
How we work
Four commitments that apply to every engagement.
Senior bankers throughout
The banker who takes on your engagement runs it, including every buyer meeting and negotiation.
Confidential by default
Buyers first see a summary that does not name your company. Details follow only after a non-disclosure agreement.
A straight view on value
We tell you what we think the business is worth and when to go to market, including when the answer is to wait.
Paid on results
Most of our fee is paid at closing, so our pay depends on reaching your goal.
