Strategic Thinking.
Meaningful
Transactions.
Connecting strategy, capital and opportunity.
The Firm
An independent advisory
and investment firm for
decisions that matter.
Madjarian + Associates Inc works alongside business owners, investors and organisations on strategic transactions, business development and
investment opportunities.
We are deliberately selective. Clients engage us for judgement as much as execution — understanding what a business is worth, what matters most to its owners, and how to bring the right parties together on the right terms.
Discreet
No product to sell and no balance sheet to protect. Our advice answers only to the client’s
interest.
Senior-led
Every mandate is handled personally by
principals, from first conversation to final signature.
Independent
Much of our work is never announced.
Confidentiality is the condition on which trust is built.
What We Do
Four areas of
practice, one
point of view.
Most mandates draw on more than one
discipline. We bring them together around the outcome rather than the service.
Mergers & Acquisitions
Advising owners and acquirers through sale, acquisition and combination — from early positioning and counterparty selection to negotiation and close.
Sell-side · Buy-side · Mergers · Management buy-outs
Strategic & Business
Advisory
Independent counsel on direction, growth and structure for business owners and leadership teams facing decisions that will shape their businesses for years to come.
Growth strategy · Market entry · Partnerships · Succession
Capital & Investment
Connecting businesses with the right capital, and investors with considered opportunities — structured around long-term alignment rather than speed.
Capital raising · Co-investment · Private placements
Special Situations & Strategic Opportunities
Discreet support where circumstances are
complex or time-sensitive, and in identifying opportunities others may overlook.
Restructuring · Carve-outs · Distressed assets · Off-market
