Diligence:  n. 1.  Earnest and persistent application to an undertaking; steady effort; assiduity. Our competitors would likely describe themselves as “financial advisors”, experts only in assessing financial strategies. But transactions for private companies are not just financial - they are businesses, not bonds. And the issues involved are complex, emotional. To be a successful advisor, you must become the mind of your client and understand every aspect of the business involved. To do that requires a thoroughness and diligence, which we pride ourselves on. We enjoy seeing the successful growth of companies post-transaction, and we periodically look to stay involved as advisors or investors. Our interests are aligned with yours.
