Boutique M&A Advisory & Consulting Services

Most owners begin with a confidential conversation about their goals, the company’s value drivers, and the alternatives worth considering. As a San Antonio M&A advisory firm, Pasadera Capital prepares and positions your company, then runs a focused process to qualified strategic and private equity buyers, whether as quiet outreach or a competitive auction. Senior partners stay at the table through negotiation and closing, so you are never handed off.

For owners weighing a business broker against an M&A advisory firm, the difference comes down to deal size, process, and the depth of senior involvement. Business brokers typically handle smaller, main street businesses and often work from a listing model. M&A advisory firms serve middle market companies, building a tailored process, marketing materials, and a financial model to reach the right strategic and private equity buyers. Pasadera Capital works at that level, leading mergers and acquisitions for established companies where structure, positioning, and senior judgment shape the outcome.

Most middle market companies are valued as a multiple of EBITDA, but the right multiple depends on your industry, growth, customer concentration, recurring revenue, and the quality of your earnings. A thorough business valuation looks past a single rule of thumb to the factors a real buyer will scrutinize. We help owners across San Antonio and South Texas understand where their company stands and what could strengthen its position before going to market.

An EBITDA multiple translates a company’s earnings into an estimated enterprise value, so a business earning a given level of EBITDA at a five times multiple would be valued accordingly. The multiple itself is not fixed. It moves with industry, scale, growth, margins, and risk factors such as customer concentration. As part of M&A and transaction readiness consulting, we help owners see which of these drivers a buyer will weigh most heavily.

Confidentiality is central to how we work. Conversations with Pasadera Capital are private, and any market process is run to protect your identity, your employees, and your relationships until you choose to disclose. Buyers receive information in stages under appropriate agreements, so sensitive details are shared only with qualified parties at the right time.

A firm rooted in Texas understands the regional market, the buyers active here, and the way local owners and families think about a transaction. Recapitalizations and partial sales, often a sale of a majority interest to a private equity buyer, are a common piece of exit planning and succession for business owners in the San Antonio market, letting owners realize liquidity while retaining a minority stake and a continued role. From our San Antonio offices, Pasadera Capital pairs that local familiarity with national and global reach across mergers and acquisitions. The result is institutional capability delivered with the focus and responsiveness of a boutique.
