Meliora Advisory’s Business Services practice provides sell-side M&A advisory to lower middle market companies across contracted services, industrial & field services, healthcare services, and professional services. We focus on businesses where recurring revenue and execution drive enterprise value. In these sectors, retention, service quality, and team depth are central to value creation and buyer perception. A large share of engagements involve first-time sellers seeking the right capital partner without compromising their business. We use buyer insight to position companies, tailor the process, and create competition that drives outcomes.
