M&A Advisory for Middle Market Business Owners

Our international team of 10 investment bankers and 2 senior advisors leverages years of experience in the technology sector – both domestically and abroad – to personally manage your transaction from inception to a successful close. Seven of us are former Technology Services CEOs. We understand that the technology services industry has grown considerably and the financial needs of its participants have become more complex.

Success Stories From Our Clients

“I could not have chosen a better partner than Abraham and his team at FOCUS Investment Banking. In all my years in business I have never experienced this uniquely powerful combination of customer centric focus, deep industry and financial knowledge, availability, integrity, likeability, and selflessness. With them negotiating the deal I was able to get a price almost (redacted)% higher than I thought likely, and with a buyer who is a great cultural fit.”
