Sell-Side M&A Advisory for Owner-Operated Companies

We built companies, ran them, and sold them to private equity. Now we run that process for other owners.

Waxhaw Capital Group is an M&A advisory firm for owner-operated companies in the lower middle market. We aren't career bankers.

Why owners choose WCG

Six things we do that career bankers don't.

01

Secret shopping the market

We anonymously market your deal, first. You learn what buyers will really pay before you commit to a process.

02

Buyers you won't find in a database

We know about a hundred buyers who are actively looking right now. Most of them aren't in any database. Getting the right ones in the room at the same time — that's the whole job.

03

Modeling future value

Buyers pay for the future they can see. We build the materials around your pipeline, market, and margin — today and tomorrow.

04

One buyer is not a process

The highest price comes from competition. One buyer isn't a process, it's a negotiation you're losing.

05

Your team is part of the deal

We push to protect the culture that made the business work. This is the part owners lose sleep over.

06

After-tax proceeds, not headline price

An F-reorg — a way of restructuring the company before a sale so the buyer gets a clean tax basis — can be worth more to you than another half-turn on the multiple. We solve for what you keep.
