M&A Capital Advisory

Support the Strategic and Financial Objectives

We advise clients on significant capital-related matters including sourcing capital, capital needs assessment, and planning for potential investments. The investment management experience of our professionals gives us an understanding of the capital needs and challenges facing both businesses and individuals alike. Our objective when advising on important capital-related issues is to support the strategic and financial objectives of each client with expertise that is traditionally only available from larger investment banking firms.

Mergers & Acquisitions Advisory

PW&Co advises businesses and their executives and shareholders across an array of industries in M&A transactions with respect to the clients’ unique goals. Through years of experience, our professionals have refined a disciplined, process-based approach to both sell-side and buy-side execution. Whether a client is seeking to grow or diversify its business through acquisitions, buy out existing shareholders, or maximize value with a defined exit strategy, PW&Co offers an unmatched commitment to identify and execute on a realizable strategy.

Sell-Side Advisory

Business owners exploring a sale of their company need trusted advisors, who understand their specific objectives, to achieve the desired outcome. After all, selling a family-owned or closely-held business rarely happens more than once for the stakeholders involved. Our professionals collectively have decades of experience and proven success advising businesses in a client-focused approach to maximizing value and return.

Buy-Side Advisory

Many companies identify an acquisitive strategy as the most effective way to grow their core business or to diversify their market position. Through many years of experience, we maintain a core belief that the highest probability of success from an acquisition starts with developing a clear and consistent acquisition strategy and maintaining a disciplined process throughout any potential transaction.

Acquisitions can be in the form of a strategic purchase of a company’s competitor or one in its supply chain, a management team’s buyout of existing ownership, or a financial investment into a new industry vertical or market. Our professionals have frequently advised on successful acquisitions by understanding our clients’ objectives and instilling experience and discipline into the strategic acquisition process.
