M&A for the Business Services Sector
M&A Overview
Well-run businesses know that outsourcing non-core functions to other service providers empowers them to focus, grow and excel in their own marketplace, by leveraging the expertise of others who excel at what they do. FOCUS brings deep experience and a track record of success in several of these B2B service sectors, including Information and Document Management; and Infrastructure Services. Since 1982, FOCUS Investment Banking has been providing M&A advisory services to entrepreneurs, owners, and investors in the Business Services sector.

Testimonials
William L. Bryan, CEO of Microconsult
I wanted to express my appreciation for the professional work that FOCUS Investment Banking performed for my company over two plus years. The number of hours, the total communication and rapid response time to questions regarding the buyout was phenomenal. I highly recommend FOCUS for any company that is preparing to sell a business.
