Want to talk through how a recap would work for your company? We work on control transactions: a full sale, or a majority recap in which a buyer acquires a controlling interest and takes an active role in running the business. We introduce qualified buyers, including private equity groups, family offices and strategic acquirers. We do not arrange minority investments or growth-capital raises; if one may fit, we can refer you to a registered broker-dealer.
