ABOUT US
GRAND AVENUE CAPITAL is an investment banking firm managing merger/acquisitions, both buy-side and sell-side transactions for North American firms with revenues to $200 million which are typically profitable and established. Our firm also sources equity capital raising; the oversight of which is through a FINRA licensed broker/dealer.
We are prepared to serve clients globally; we have managed investment banking assignments in Europe, Mexico, the Middle East and Asia and understand the complexities of cross border transactions. For example, a portion of our practice has been in Asia where we have been involved in substantially larger and highly complex transactions with world-scale companies and international investors. We have been engaged by private companies in China with up to $2.6 billion in revenue, seeking growth capital private equity placements. Today, our international partnership with One to One Corporate Finance provides incomparable resources in the US not available for companies of the size we seek as clients.
We maintain a proprietary database of institutional financial investors (worldwide including private equity funds, family offices, unfunded sponsors, search funds and high net worth individuals seeking investment opportunities). Matching these investor's criteria with clients’ needs is a routine activity for us in making a market for private companies. Our particular expertise is cultivating strategic investors and acquirers wherein we help develop the specific operating synergies that match our clients’ parameters.
MISSION
GRAND AVENUE CAPITAL brings its prior business ownership and Fortune 20 experience to small companies that would otherwise not have these resources available to them.
