Capital Formation Advisory
In today's private capital markets over $1 Trillion in private equity and $1.5 Trillion in private credit is actively seeking investment opportunities. Navigating the market to find a partner that aligns with an owner's long-term vision and business objectives is our primary goal.
Our team brings deep relationships across private equity, family offices, institutional lenders, and strategic investors—allowing us to match the right capital to the right opportunity. Whether you're funding an acquisition, expanding operations, or preparing for transition, we can help structure the right capital solution.
Transition Strategy
There are over 4 million private businesses expected to transition over the next decade. Many of these events often fail or do not achieve the owners' intent. Additionally, only 12% of family businesses successfully transition from the first to third generation. Business transitions can be unnecessarily complex and messy if not planned for well in advance and executed with intent.
Unlike other M&A advisory firms that simply want to execute a transaction, at Maple Hill Partners we do much more. We roll up our sleeves to consult with owners, management teams and boards. We engage with owners to help assess objectives, understand where there are gaps and address operational and/or ownership dynamics necessary to optimize a strategic event.
Value Creation
We believe that a strategic discussion should begin with a fundamental understanding of what your business is worth. Not a tax valuation or an accounting appraisal, but a true investment banking market valuation. This is in our DNA, and we love talking to business owners about valuation and more importantly how to enhance value over time.
We understand the dynamics that motivates investors and help our clients optimize value creation. Our focus includes developing a long-term growth plan, comparing peer profitability and KPIs, building a financial model, developing a board level strategic plan, assessing management talent, analyzing industry competitive dynamics and other strategic metrics,
