Technology Services

Since 1982, our team of investment bankers and former technology company executives has advised hundreds of leading technology services businesses. 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. We continue to achieve a very high close rate on buy side, sell side and corporate finance mandates because of the unique resources, process, and perspective we bring to investment banking.

Unlike most technology services specialty groups, we:

  • Offer strategic advisory services that enhance shareholder value
  • Are a national firm with global reach; regional offices ensure that all clients receive personalized service throughout every phase of the transaction
  • Have bankers with C-level operating experience in your industry
  • Have a formal research department dedicated to creating the most exact and comprehensive analysis to help get the deal closed, with dedicated software and services analysts
  • Leverage years of experience in the middle market that will maximize the opportunity for a successful transaction
  • Have a proven transaction methodology for delivering results

Our team works across multiple sectors:

Hear 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.”
