8th Street Partners was built to serve the small business owner and level the playing field against private equity firms and other institutional acquirers.
Expert guidance, every step of the way
Our comprehensive and customized M&A advisory services are designed around the unique needs of each client. We work closely with business owners to guide them through every stage of the transaction process — from valuation and preparation to buyer outreach, negotiation, and closing.
Our team brings deep experience from investment banking and private equity, providing sophisticated transaction expertise typically reserved for larger deals. This experience allows us to anticipate challenges, structure optimal outcomes, and help business owners maximize the value of their exit.
We started 8th Street Partners to level the playing field between Wall Street and Main Street
Wall Street is buying up main street. Private equity firms and institutional buyers are actively targeting small and lower middle market businesses. These transactions are often one-sided, with significant experience and information asymmetry favoring the acquirers.
Many of these businesses are represented by traditional “business brokers” with limited transaction experience and minimal value-add.
As a result, owners are often left to either navigate the process themselves or pay significant fees for limited guidance.
