Pentvia Partners
Pentvia Partners is a merger and acquisition advisory firm headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We specialize in serving growth-oriented, privately-held businesses in the lower-middle market, which we define as companies generating annual revenues between $2 million and $20 million.
Capital Raising
Raising capital from private sources to achieve business growth has become increasingly common. In the equity capital side of our business, we work with business owners who recognize the need for investment capital and expertise to capitalize on growth and market opportunities.
Divestitures
On the M&A side, we assist business owners who are planning to retire or leave the business for other reasons. We help them find the right buyer who can continue the growth and legacy of the company. This is especially relevant for businesses owned by the “baby boomer” generation, which are becoming increasingly prevalent in the Midwest.
Acquisitions
Many business owners are now considering growth through acquisition as a strategic plan. Organic growth has become more challenging, making a “grow through acquisition” strategy more popular. Pentvia Partners can help businesses find suitable acquisition targets through an industry-focused and targeted approach. We tailor our search to meet our client’s requirements and proactively approach potential firms on their behalf.
Mergers
While not as common, interest in mergers has been increasing. Mergers occur when two firms agree to merge and operate as a single new entity, often due to synergies or vertical integration strategies. Pentvia Partners can manage and coordinate the merger process among all parties and advisory teams involved.
Debt Restructuring
In the current economic landscape, it is crucial for business owners to evaluate their existing banking relationships. Debt restructuring allows companies to renegotiate their debt position to improve liquidity and support continued growth. Pentvia Partners can provide guidance in this area by approaching and working with select lenders in a confidential setting.
