Specialization

Primary Size Specialization

Burley & Associates specializes in acquisition targets with revenues in the $1 million to $25 million range.

The firm believes that the $1 million to $25 million revenue segment is one of the most under-represented markets in the entire M&A industry. Companies with less than $1 million in revenues typically work with traditional business brokers, while most $25 million to $50 million companies work with mid-market firms, leaving the $50 million and larger companies to engage the major Wall Street firms. Burley & Associates is one of the few firms in the nation to specialize in the $1 million to $25 million size range, and is an established leader in this arena.

It should be noted, that while our specialization is in this size range, we do not exclude the engagement of larger or smaller companies. We evaluate each opportunity on its own merits.
