Since 1997, Mad River Associates has established itself as the premier buy side advisory search firm. We are an experienced team of successful professionals with complementary experiences in banking, manufacturing, business acquisitions, operations and finance. Our expertise is sourcing high quality lower middle market companies by implementing a proven process of identifying and contacting companies that meet our clients’ criteria. Our clients are financial and strategic buyers of primarily lower middle market companies. These buyers acknowledge that their time is best spent on operational and financial matters, yet they realize that quality deal flow is critical to their long-term success. Clients typically use Mad River Associates’ expertise to pursue buy-out, recapitalization and growth capital opportunities.

We, at Mad River Associates, are unique in our approach and process for sourcing quality companies. We create value for our clients by only identifying companies that meet their defined search criteria and companies that have a willingness to enter into a sale discussion. Our value proposition is centered on discretion and confidentiality, combined with a keen appreciation that the buyout process can be both a delicate and disruptive process. Through this process, we strive to build long lasting client relationships. Our client relationships are our most valued assets. Therefore, clients are carefully selected with the intent of developing long-term relationships. We view our time and expertise as a valuable commodity.
