Axial

Axial (axial.net) operates the largest marketplace on the internet for buying, selling, and financing American small businesses (businesses with $5M-$100M in revenues). Over 20,000 professional investors, M&A advisors and CEOs use Axial's tools, data, and marketplace to source, manage and execute small business M&A transactions. Axial members have closed over 2,500 deals since 2010, amounting to more than $25 Billion in closed transaction volume. Market Overview At the core of the US economy are "lower middle market" businesses - businesses generating $5M to $100M in revenue. In the US alone, there are over 350,000 companies in this size range. These small businesses are neither large enough to go public, nor are they able to attract great advice from national or global investment banks. In addition, the wholesale absence of reliable data on transactions and market participants has made this the most broken underperforming segment of private capital markets. Axial is transforming the status quo in this capital market, providing companies, their trusted advisors, and their capital partners with high quality purpose-built tools, unique data, and marketplace infrastructure.
