About Us

Chapman Associates: Proud to be One of the Top M&A Firms

Since 1954, Chapman Associates has provided middle market companies (currently valued between $5 million and $150 million) with the same resources, expertise and representation that is usually available only to much larger companies. For decades, we've remained committed to guiding middle-market business owners, buyers, and investors through complex mergers and acquisitions with integrity, discretion, and unmatched expertise.

We understand that selling or acquiring a business is a long-term journey—often spanning years from initial consideration to final closing. That’s why we act as both a trusted confidant and an educational resource, helping clients answer the critical questions: Is this business sellable? What’s happening in the industry? How can I maximize value while protecting my family, employees, and legacy?
