Greenville, South Carolina

Topsail Capital Advisors is a leading nationally recognized middle-market M&A advisory firm specializing in selling founder-owned companies, typically working with owners that are families or entrepreneurs to help guide them through a successful sale process. TCA strives to help our clients accomplish their goals to sell or recap their business while maximizing the price, terms, structure, and fit of any transaction. Our extensive network of contacts and relationships with private equity firms, family offices, and corporate buyers extends across the country. TCA was founded by twenty-year business M&A and commercial real estate veteran Mark Griffin, CM&AA, CCIM. While Mr. Griffin and his team of Analysts and specialty advisors have clients located throughout the US, we focus on privately held lower middle market companies located within the southeastern US. TCA also provides buy-side advisory for private equity groups, family offices, and corporations seeking add-on acquisitions. TCA is a member of the Alliance of Merger & Acquisition Advisors (AM&AA) and the Certified Commercial Investment Member Institute (CCIM). The TCA team are experts in conducting business and real estate market valuations as well as structuring sale-leaseback arrangements whereas the business is sold and the building or facility is in turn “leased back” to the business purchaser. The real estate is then sold separately to private investors/ groups which allows the owner to capitalize on both the sale of the business and real estate at exit.
Services Offered
Topsail Capital Advisors offers both sell and buy-side M&A services including market valuation reports, exit planning strategies, and buy and sell-side intermediary /brokerage. Topsail Capital Advisors specializes in selling lower middle market businesses with over $250,000 in Discretionary Earnings/ Adjusted EBIDTA. TCA has direct relationships with over forty private equity groups and Family Offices throughout the US actively seeking business acquisitions in many sectors. Our experience in lower middle market M&A, along with industry credentials and affiliations within the Alliance of Merger & Acquisition Advisors and the Certified Commercial Investment Member Institute, sets us apart from the “main street” business broker’s skill set. We are equipped and experienced to assist businesses up to $75 million in annual gross revenues while evaluating and marketing smaller businesses on the same plane with a minimum of $250,000 in adjusted EBITDA.
