Washington, DC, (July 25, 2024) – FOCUS Investment Banking (“FOCUS”), a national middle market investment banking firm providing merger, acquisition, divestiture, and corporate finance services is honored to again be named among the Top 25 Lower Middle Market Investment Banks of Q2 2024 by Axial.

Throughout the last 12 months, FOCUS successfully closed 23 deals spanning diverse industries, highlighting its versatility and expertise in navigating various sectors. Axial’s investment banking league tables rank sell-side M&A advisors based on their usage of the Axial platform and incorporate three core M&A advisory attributes: client quality, buy-side targeting, and deal process effectiveness.
