STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY

Our record of success and reputation for value added performance frequently leads to long term client relationships. Our primary source of new business is from clients we have previously served. We are proud of this endorsement and recognize it as our most valued asset.

We provide the highest quality Investment Banking Services.

Our company is relationship and service based, not product based. The service we provide is “old style” investment banking and is equal to, and frequently better than, what large Wall Street firms provide. We take on only 5 to 6 clients or transactions at one time. We strive for 100% success in meeting our client’s objectives and take on assignments only when we believe this can be achieved.

Our approach is grounded in developing a strong client relationship. 

We devote a significant amount of time to understanding our client’s needs and objectives. As a company providing investment banking to entrepreneurs, we see our client from both a corporate and personal perspective. We frequently act in a consultative fashion. We only accept assignments when we believe the fundamentals of a strong relationship can be put in place, including trust, confidence, solid communication, and rapport.

We combine the art with the science of investment banking.

In investment banking in general, and in our target market in particular, achieving successful outcomes cannot be based on functional and technical competence alone. Competence, which can be thought of as the “science” of the business, is necessary but not sufficient. It must be combined with the “art” of the business, which includes special insights, creativity and intuition, and relationship management. We pride ourselves in providing the combination of “art and science,” which leads to effective decisions and desired transactional outcomes.
