SBM&C

What SBM&C does

SBM&C (Sajous Business Management & Capital), operating under the legal entity Sajous Capital Inc., is a privately-held business consulting and financial intermediary firm founded in 2010 and headquartered at 59 Maiden Lane, New York, NY 10038. The firm serves small to mid-size businesses, artists, record labels, independent productions, real estate developers, and manufacturers, functioning as a relationship-driven bridge between these clients and a network of more than 300 public and private lenders that includes banks, thrifts, hedge funds, and venture capital firms. Operational coverage is concentrated in the New York and New Jersey metro areas; no international or national footprint is indicated.

The firm's portfolio comprises seven core services: bond and debt financing, business consulting and restructure, business management, corporate financing, film financing and production, mergers and acquisitions advisory, and private financing. Underlying capability is partner-led relationship intermediation rather than a software platform—value is created through direct partner consultations that match client financing needs with lenders holding decision and signing authority. The advisory proposition is reinforced by a referral ecosystem of certified public accountants, tax attorneys, estate planners, and business attorneys that supplements the firm's core offerings.

Revenue is generated through two streams: ongoing consulting and management advisory fees, and transactional arrangement fees for structuring debt, equity, and acquisition financing. The firm operates with a lean structure of two named partners (Alain Sajous and Richard Sajous) and one executive assistant (Atika Khalid). Distribution is concentrated in direct partner consultation and professional network referrals; no software platform, mobile app, API, or technology licensing revenue is indicated in available sources.
