Mirus Capital Advisors

What Mirus Capital Advisors does

Mirus Capital Advisors is a privately-held, partner-owned middle-market investment bank founded in 1987 and headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts. The firm provides three core service lines — M&A Advisory (sell-side, buy-side, family business advisory, management buyouts), Capital Advisory (growth equity, acquisition financing, debt and equity recapitalizations), and Fairness Opinions & Valuations (board advisory, complex trust/estate/gift valuations) — delivered by a team of 15+ senior bankers across five industry verticals: Technology, Industrial, Business Services, Healthcare & Life Sciences, and Consumer. The firm operates through a wholly-owned FINRA-member broker-dealer subsidiary, Mirus Securities Inc., which provides integrated capital markets execution capabilities and is the regulatory entity behind its capital-raising mandates. Its core technology is the advisory delivery platform itself — relationship-driven senior banker engagement supported by proprietary research publications including the monthly Middle Market Monitor and quarterly sector-specific reports.

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction-based advisory fees on completed M&A and capital-raising mandates, supplemented by professional services fees for fairness opinions and valuation engagements. Pricing is negotiated per engagement based on deal complexity, size, and scope; no public fee schedule exists. Distribution is exclusively direct senior banker engagement — the firm does not use digital self-serve or marketplace channels, relying instead on relationship-based deal origination within the middle-market segment. Mirus has completed over 450 transactions in its history with $3.2B in cumulative transaction value over the past five years, and has earned multiple M&A Advisor Awards and M&A Atlas Awards including 2026 Investment Bank of the Year for Complex Transactions. The firm has no external investors, no disclosed funding rounds, and is wholly owned by its founding partners and senior bankers.
