Bison Partners is a unique
financial and business advisory firm that focuses on
privately-held companies in the lower middle market and small to
medium-sized private investment sponsors and their portfolio
companies.
For its middle market corporate clients, Bison provides a
continuum of advisory and consulting services leading up to and
including a debt and/or equity financing. For its private
investment sponsor clients, Bison provides innovative financing
solutions for their portfolio companies.
Bison has relationships with several NY and CT-based broker
dealers through which it can offer traditional investment banking
and M&A services.
By combining its core team capabilities with its Advisors
Group and a network of investors and private hedge/investment
funds, investment and commercial banks, finance companies,
turnaround, management and operations consultants, and
professional services firms, Bison can deliver compelling
value.
Bison Partners operates under two
entities, Bison Advisors LLC and Bison Capital LLC:
- Bison Advisors LLC
provides financial advisory and business consulting services to
middle market companies contemplating raising capital to grow
their business, acquire other companies, restructure their
balance sheets as part of a turnaround process or refinance their
current lenders and investors. The capital raising process may
require sometimes significant adjustments to, and measurable
improvements of, their tactical and strategic business plan,
management team, operations and financial reporting, forecasting
and control processes and systems. Bison Advisors also provides
specialty finance solutions to its corporate clients as well as
investor sponsored portfolio companies.
- Bison Capital LLC has
relationships with several NY and CT-based broker dealers through
which it can offer access to investment banking and M&A services for
lower middle market companies which in certain cases can include
the portfolio companies of private investment funds. Bison Capital can arrange flexible debt and equity capital solutions for working capital,
acquisitions, restructurings or companies going through
turnarounds where financing may not be available from
“mainstream” investors, commercial lenders and
finance companies. Bison can also arrange more traditional
“mainstream” senior, mezzanine and private equity
financings. The focus is on privately-held companies looking to
raise from $1 million up to $40+ million of debt and/or equity
financing.
Bison Partners defines its primary
client markets as:
- Corporations with
annual revenues from $5 million up to $100+ million. Bison
primarily focuses on the lower middle market segment of the
economy and typically works with privately-held
companies.
- Private Investment
Sponsors with assets and/or commitments under management
from $20 million to $500+ million. Bison also works with
investment funds with up to $1 billion or more under management
and "fundless" sponsor groups.
