Broad incumbents

• Houlihan Lokey: Large global investment bank with deep industrial services M&A practice. A scaled competitor that overlaps with Catalyst on larger industrial services mandates from PE and corporate clients.
• D.A. Davidson & Co. Large diversified middle-market investment bank covering industrials, business services, and consumer. A broader competitor that overlaps with Catalyst on industrial services mandates but offers full-service capital markets.
