Chicago Office

At the CFA Chicago Office, we focus on providing a full range of M&A support services for middle market companies. We are committed to delivering results for our clients.

As a business intermediary, CFA represents clients in the sale, merger, purchase, and appraisal of closely held businesses. We specialize in manufacturing, distribution, and service companies who have sales of $1 Million to $50 Million, located in the Chicago metro area, as well as downstate Illinois and contiguous states.

Our commitment to remaining independent from any investment or lending affiliates ensures that we deliver unbiased guidance. We represent only one side, your side. Imagine the advantage of tapping into the negotiating skills of a CFA principal who knows both sides of a deal.

Selling, buying or financing a business is a complex process that requires thorough preparation, skillful negotiation, and intimate knowledge of markets and financial resources. With CFA, you’ll work locally with a senior principal, who can provide expert valuation, analysis, and negotiating skills, as well as preferred access to a national and international network of CFA industry experts and resources. 

Chicago Team

Serving as your partner throughout all phases of the transaction process, your CFA principal will guide you through every challenge, advocate on your behalf, and leverage our firm’s wealth of experience and resources to see you through to a successful close.
