Industries We Serve
Four verticals where 15+ years of deal-making have produced real pattern recognition — across our sweet spot of $1M–$25M in revenue businesses in New Orleans, the New Orleans North Shore, Baton Rouge, Houma–Thibodaux, and South Mississippi.
Industry depth shows up at the negotiating table. We don't pretend to know every industry; the verticals below are where our experience is genuine, and where we're the right firm for the engagement. If your business is outside these areas, we'll often know an advisor who's a better fit — just ask.
Construction & trades
Residential, commercial, and specialty-trade businesses across the New Orleans North Shore (St. Tammany, Slidell, Covington, Mandeville, Hammond), Houma–Thibodaux bayou region, and the South Mississippi (Mississippi Gulf Coast, Hattiesburg). The industry where backlog, bonding capacity, and key-person dynamics shape valuation more than the financials alone.

Industrial distribution
Industrial supply, MRO, B2B distribution, and equipment-related businesses across the I-10 corridor (Baton Rouge, Greater New Orleans) and the Houma–Thibodaux oilfield-adjacent region. Where inventory methodology and customer-concentration realities make or break valuation.

New Orleans restaurants & hospitality
NOLA restaurants, multi-unit operators, and hospitality concepts — across Greater New Orleans and extending to North Shore (Mandeville, Covington) and Mississippi Gulf Coast (Biloxi, Gulfport) hospitality. A market with its own valuation rules, tourism-cycle adjustments, and lease/license transferability considerations that don't apply elsewhere.

Professional services
Consulting firms, agencies, professional-services businesses, and service organizations across all five regions we serve (Greater New Orleans, North Shore, Baton Rouge, Houma–Thibodaux, South Mississippi). The team is the product, and the deal structure has to reflect that — owner-dependence reduction and earn-out frameworks usually do the heavy lifting.
