Chapman Associates advises and represents privately held service companies throughout North America. For decades, we have assisted owners with business-to-business M&A services, helping navigate ownership transitions, recapitalizations, and strategic sales.
As business models continue to shift toward outsourced and service-based solutions, buyer demand for well-positioned B2B service companies remains strong across multiple sectors.
Marketplace Creation through Business-to-Business M&A Services
Chapman Associates has developed an active marketplace for buyers and sellers of B2B service businesses. Within our proprietary Biz Mart℠ database, thousands of active strategic buyers, private equity groups, family offices, and independent sponsors have provided their acquisition criteria across a wide range of service industries. In addition, we maintain confidential dialogue with numerous privately held service company owners evaluating long-term exit strategies.
Over 90% of the companies we represent are introduced to buyers within our established network before broader market exposure.
