There is a Market
There is a market for socks, toaster ovens, groceries, cars, financial products, houses, and public stock. In America, we have invented markets, or more appropriately, efficient and effective market mechanisms and systems, which make it possible for buyers and sellers of most products and services to find each other and for transfer of ownership to occur.

There isn't a Market
There is not a market for small, privately held manufacturing, distribution, business services, sales and marketing companies in the San Francisco Bay Area.

"The very best part about our work is the quality of our clients. I find great satisfaction in helping entrepreneurs buy, sell and build companies. Over the years, I've bought, sold, started, closed, and grown my own businesses. I've worked with hundreds of clients. After (despite?) all that, I remain fascinated by private enterprise and feel privileged to serve people that make a contribution every day through the vehicle of business ownership."

Michael Sipe's Bio

Oddly enough, in one of the most dynamic entrepreneurial regions in the world, no efficient and effective market mechanism is in place that makes it possible for buyers and sellers of small companies to discreetly and confidentially find each other and transfer ownership.

Private Equities is Inventing a Market
Our firm was founded to invent and develop a system to discretely and effectively match buyers and sellers of privately-held San Francisco Bay Area manufacturing, distribution, sales, and service companies with annual revenues from $1,000,000 to $50,000,000. 

What We Know.
After a dozen years and hundreds of clients, we know our system works. The market is complex and dynamic, however, so we know we must keep learning and continually improving. We learn from every client, every negotiation, every project and every transaction. We integrate these lessons into the conduct of our business. We read, study, and attend professional development classes as part of our commitment to get results for our clients.
