Who is Siddwell for?

Siddwell is for owners of privately held US companies doing $1 million to $100 million in revenue. Manufacturers, distributors, service businesses, and the trades. Companies that are profitable, private, and have never been big enough for a bulge-bracket bank to staff. The other side of the table is buyers, lenders, and investors who want those companies and say so.

Twice in the life of a company this size, the process often does not get run. The company needs capital and takes the one number its bank gives it. Or the owner is ready to sell, Wall Street will not staff the assignment, and the introduction is a short list of buyers worked one at a time. Siddwell was built for that company: banker-led, software-run, so a full process can be done at this size.

The sale can be a full exit, a majority stake with the owner still running the company beside a new partner, or a division that no longer fits. The raise can be expansion, equipment, an acquisition, a shareholder buyout, or a refinancing. The revenue band is the band the firm serves. It is not redrawn to match a fund's marketing label.

Strategic acquirers, private equity, search funds, family offices, and the credit funds built for this size can tell the firm what they are looking for. They hear from the firm when it is representing something that fits. That is the buyer and lender network. A buyer names the mandate. A lender names the credit box. They are not the client on the owner's sale.

The firm describes the client as a privately held US company doing $1 million to $100 million in revenue: manufacturers, distributors, service businesses, and the trades, profitable enough that a process can be run, and too small for a bulge-bracket bank to staff. A company outside that description should not read the site as a promise that the band will be stretched. The first call is where that fit is read. It is with the CEO, it costs nothing, and it is not a commitment. If the company is not one the firm should take, that is the answer you should hear.

Buyers and lenders are the other door, and they are not the client on the owner's sale. A strategic, a fund, a family office, a search fund, or a credit fund can name what it wants through the network and hear from the firm when a representation fits. That relationship does not make the fund the seller's advisor. The revenue band is how the firm describes the companies it represents. It is not a loan cap. The SBA's $5 million 7(a) maximum is a separate number, set by the SBA, for a lender's loan.

Siddwell is an AI-native investment bank for privately held US companies with $1M to $100M in revenue, doing sell-side M&A and capital advisory.

If you own the company and it sits in that revenue band, the first call is with the CEO. It costs nothing and it is not a commitment. If you buy or lend, the network is the door.
