MidMarket Capital Advisors

What MidMarket Capital Advisors does

MidMarket Capital Advisors, LLC is a privately held, Philadelphia-based corporate finance advisory firm founded in 1983 that serves domestic and international middle market companies — including private firms, public companies, and their boards of directors, owners, and fiduciaries — on financing and strategic transaction matters. The firm is structured as a partnership whose principals draw on prior experience in investment banking, corporate development, and direct investing, and has been continuously active for over 40 years with a stated track record of helping hundreds of business owners.

The firm's offering is organized as a unified Corporate Finance Advisory platform with four service modules: Strategic Advice (options analysis grounded in balance sheet and cash flow data), Mergers & Acquisitions Advisory (end-to-end execution support from target identification through closing), Growth Capital (debt and equity sourcing across commercial banks, private equity funds, and corporate partners), and Valuation Analysis (negotiation-stage and fiduciary-grade valuation reports). Notable disclosed mandates include advising Corcentric on an $80 million convertible preferred stock sale to Bregal Sagemount, a $32 million acquisition of Determine, and a $200 million debt recapitalization; advising on STG's $62 million purchase of Thompson and Co.; a multi-year engagement with Drew Estate that included an operating executive role; and a credit facility expansion for PJW Restaurant Group.

MidMarket generates revenue through advisory fees on a flexible basis — either a completion fee or a time-based fee structure — tied to multi-year engagements. Client engagement is delivered directly via confidential one-on-one Virtual Consultations and ongoing advisory relationships. Marketing and lead generation rely on an Insights blog, a Briefings email newsletter, and the virtual consultation channel; the firm does not use distributors, resellers, or marketplace intermediaries. There is no proprietary technology platform, no disclosed headcount, no external funding, and no parent company or institutional ownership.
