Clients

We work with founders on what is often the most important transaction of their careers. Creating meaningful value is the foundation of every relationship we build and the unwavering commitment behind everything we deliver.

You’ve built an exceptional business, and our experienced team can help you create options by connecting you with a variety of investors and strategic buyers. Our process creates competition for your business, putting you in the driver’s seat. Whatever drives you, we’ll structure a process that honors your priorities while exploring new possibilities for value creation. 

Our founder-owned clients span technology, industrial, business services, healthcare & life sciences, and consumer sectors. They are the leading companies in their respective geographies and markets. We specialize in bringing industry-leading businesses to market; successful enterprises that have earned their reputation through innovation, market leadership, and operational excellence.

When multigenerational families face transitions — whether raising capital for growth, partial liquidity events, complete business sales, or succession planning — the decisions involve far more than financial considerations. They impact family relationships, employee welfare, and preservation of values that have guided the business for decades.

We’ve worked with family-owned companies throughout our entire history and understand that successful transitions require sensitivity to both business objectives and complex family dynamics. Mirus President Andy Crain has lived your journey: he owned, operated, and sold his 5th generation family business.We understand the emotion of a family business transition, and we understand family business transitions transcend price maximization. It’s about identifying the right steward for what you’ve created.

We recognize our role extends beyond transaction execution — we guide families through every stage of the process, maintaining open communication to keep all family members fully informed. We facilitate discussions to address differing priorities, confirm that each family member is comfortable with how we’re operating, and provide clarity on what information is being shared and with whom.

As a result of our personal and professional experiences with family businesses, we understand that your family may want to give special consideration to certain people, brands, locations, or customers that prospective buyers might not recognize. We help families explore their options and navigate these deeply personal decisions while creating competitive markets that expand the universe of investors and buyers who appreciate the stability and market positions that characterize successful family enterprises.
