About the Company

Topsail Capital Advisors is a leading nationally recognized middle-market M&A advisory firm specializing in selling founder-owned companies, typically working with owners that are families or entrepreneurs to help guide them through a successful sale process. TCA strives to help our clients accomplish their goals to sell or recap their business while maximizing the price, terms, structure, and fit of any transaction. Our extensive network of contacts and relationships with private equity firms, family offices, and corporate buyers extends across the country. TCA was founded by twenty-year business M&A and commercial real estate veteran Mark Griffin, CM&AA, CCIM. While Mr. Griffin and his team of Analysts and specialty advisors have clients located throughout the US, we focus on privately held lower middle market companies located within the southeastern US. TCA also provides buy-side advisory for private equity groups, family offices, and corporations seeking add-on acquisitions. TCA is a member of the Alliance of Merger & Acquisition Advisors (AM&AA) and the Certified Commercial Investment Member Institute (CCIM). The TCA team are experts in conducting business and real estate market valuations as well as structuring sale-leaseback arrangements whereas the business is sold and the building or facility is in turn “leased back” to the business purchaser. The real estate is then sold separately to private investors/ groups which allows the owner to capitalize on both the sale of the business and real estate at exit.
