Local M&A firm partners with Chicago-based Peakstone Group and Maryland-based Equity Partners CRB
MADISON — Royko Enterprises LLC, a six-year-old Madison-based merger & acquisition and consulting firm, today announced two new partnerships that will significantly enhance the value and breadth of the services they offer area businesses looking to buy or sell.
New partnerships with the Peakstone Group of Chicago for M&A services and Equity Partners CRB of Maryland for services to distressed businesses, allows Royko Enterprises to execute middle market transactions valued up to $150 million.
The partnerships came about after Steve Royko, owner of Royko Enterprises, worked with both companies on transactions in 2010 and 2011.
“In both cases, we worked very well together and most importantly, the clients were happy with the results. They were each looking to expand their market presence, and I was looking for a team to enhance the value I provide clients for traditional M&A services and services to distressed businesses” explained Royko. “The service is still seamless for clients. Area businesses will have a local point of contact and an experienced deal maker, while being able to tap into our partners’ global market reach and our combined expansive databases of private equity, family office, strategic, and other capital sources and buyers.”
Royko believes that the deep industry experience now available to his clients will be a major benefit to profitable or distressed companies seeking an exit or other related transactions.
“I’m a big believer in a team approach. Now we can quickly tap into seasoned teams of professionals with track records of success in many major industries, both as investment bankers and senior executives. Our collective experience totals hundreds of transactions valued at more than $50 billion,” said Royko. “And with that experience comes expanded service capabilities including capital structure optimization, capital raising alternatives, industrial liquidation capabilities, and more.”
Based in Madison, Wisconsin, Royko Enterprises specializes in merger and acquisition advisory services to profitable or distressed companies seeking to exit or purchase other businesses and business planning services to companies seeking to raise debt or equity financing.
For over six years, Royko Enterprises has focused on profitable and distressed businesses with $1 million to $50 million in annual revenue, as well as startups in select instances.
