§01   Intro

IMG Business Advisors was founded in 2013 as a lower middle-market M&A advisory firm. We guide owners who are ready to confidentially sell, acquire, or plan the next chapter of their company.

We pair decades of hands-on experience with a quiet, disciplined process - one that protects your people, your customers and your reputation while we work.

When a transaction requires it, we engage trusted legal, accounting and lending professionals from across the country. We do not play broker. We run a process.
