Align was founded with a mission to break the mold of the traditional M&A advisory firm. Most investment banking firms or consultancies won’t even look at deals for companies with less than $100M in revenue - they deem them too small for the effort. And those that might take a deal, treat it like a commodity. Merely an asset to trade to the first bidder only to benefit themselves - certainly not aligned with your needs and motivations.. Align takes the opposite approach. We’re a team of former business owners, operators, and executives who leverage our experience and our extensive network to maximize the value of our clients’ business. We bring Wall Street resources to the lower-middle-market. We know where you have been, and where you want to go, because we have been there ourselves. Our expertise and strategic service approach will generate significant enterprise value for your business - we guarantee it.
