Bravaldo Capital Advisors is a boutique Atlanta-based M&A and Corporate Finance Advisory Firm.

Our passion is providing independent economic and financial advice and execution services for lower middle market companies with revenues typically between $10 million and $300 million.

We offer a full range of transaction and advisory services that can guide you through sell side transactions and exit-strategy planning. We can also advise and execute on growth through acquisition, debt restructuring, and corporate recapitalization.

Why choose Bravaldo Capital Advisors?

We work closely with business owners and management teams to address and execute on critical M&A and Corporate Finance objectives.

With valuable insights derived from decades of experience, our team believes in a research-driven and systematic process – customized to each client’s needs, regardless of industry.

Bravaldo Capital Advisors is selective about our engagements. We prefer to handle a smaller number of high-quality transactions.

Whether you’re considering a full or partial divestiture of a closely held, family-run, or owner-founder-led enterprise or recapitalizing a business to provide liquidity and diversify your risk, it’s our objective to help you achieve the highest valuation with the "right buyer or partner" while minimizing wasted time, money, and transaction risks.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT:

To empower every lower middle market entrepreneur and owner we meet with best-in-class M&A and Corporate Finance execution and advisory services, rivaling service levels traditionally reserved for Fortune 1000-sized companies.

What sets us apart

1

Selective Engagements

We strive only to provide the highest quality service level available in the lower middle market. We cannot accomplish this by managing our business based on volume. We purposefully maintain a high staff to client ratio, allowing for hands on guidance and a customized approach to each client engagement we undertake.

2

Team of Senior Level Professionals

Bravaldo Capital Advisors’ expert senior deal team members have over 50 years of combined M&A and Corporate Finance experience. As advisors, we have completed over a quarter of a billion dollars in transaction value for our clients in the last 7 years.

3

Network of Over 10,000 M&A and corporate finance relationships

BCA has built and maintained a network of over 10,000 M&A and corporate finance relationships during the last 2 decades. Relationships matter and working with a firm that specializes in the lower middle market can mean all the difference in getting your transaction across the finish line.

4

International Reach

Considering acquisitions outside of the U.S. or interested in obtaining a strategic premium from an international strategic buyer? Our team and Global M&A and Corporate Finance network have you covered, as our world is indeed, a small world after all.

5

Execution Strategies Beyond the Traditional Exit

Every exit is unique, and your strategy should reflect that. A sale to a third party is not the only successful way to exit a business. We look beyond traditional exit strategies to provide the best solution and outcome for your individual situation including internal exit transactions such as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) or a Management Buyout (MBO).

6

Extensive Carve Out and Divestiture Experience

M&A deals are already complex transactions. Considering a carve out or business unit divestiture raises the stakes to another level. We excel in offering guidance and execution services to private business owners and management teams regarding the nuances of divestitures and carve outs.

7

Real World Operational Experience

Our advisory board is comprised of former business owners and fortune 500 C-level executives with deep industry operating expertise and hands-on transactional experience. If you have a desire to learn from someone who has grown a business and navigated a successful exit, then you have come to the right advisory firm.
