Cypress Capital Advisors is an independent M&A advisory firm serving closely held private companies and their owners. We specialize in representing business owners and family groups in the sale or recapitalization of their businesses. With expertise in a broad range of industries, Cypress is uniquely qualified to initiate, market, negotiate and execute successful transactions. Our services include financial advisory and execution support for mergers, acquisitions, select equity and debt financings, as well as a variety of strategic corporate development alternatives, both domestically and internationally.

Our mission is to deliver carefully tailored solutions to business owners and their stakeholders, and to ensure that the right blend of expertise, resourcefulness, and skillful execution are employed toward realizing each client's objectives. Our middle market clientele are the engine of global economic activity in the US and abroad - manufacturers, distributors, providers of business services, and innovators in media, telecommunications, and information technology. Companies under $100 million in enterprise value represent the vast majority of merger and corporate finance activity globally, yet Wall Street investment banks have not traditionally catered to the needs of this market segment. Cypress does.

Our firm's heritage provides us with a unique perspective on the buy-side -- before forming Cypress, we executed deals on behalf of major multinationals and global money center institutions. We know what buyers are looking for and we know how they evaluate and scrutinize transactions, and that translates into an advantage for our clients.

Each engagement we undertake is carefully vetted and gets the personalized attention and the targeted marketing exposure to potential buyers that larger institutions are structurally unable to provide. In so doing, our process specifically addresses the inefficiencies inherent in the M&A market for small to mid-size transactions. Most importantly, our experience and our chosen market focus afford us unique competencies in working with owners of privately owned or family controlled companies -- and in maximizing owner benefits involving complex trade-offs between liquidity, control, succession, and tax.
