Investment Banking for Founders & Family Owners

The exit your life’s work deserves.

You spent decades building a company that matters. Selling it is a turning point, not a transaction. MaximForte guides founders and family owners from first valuation to final close — and stays with you after — stewarding what the exit creates through MaximForte Private Wealth, a New York–registered investment adviser. You built the legacy. We protect the passage.

Who We Serve

Built for owners, not portfolios.

We advise founders and families deciding whether, when, and to whom to sell — wherever they built their business:

Founder-led businesses

You built it from zero and it still runs through you. We plan and run processes around the realities buyers price — owner dependence, customer concentration, and earnings a diligence team can verify.

Family-owned businesses

Second and third generations carry more than a balance sheet. We handle succession, the sell-or-keep decision, and transactions where the family name is part of what's being valued.

Partnerships

Multiple owners, one decision. We align partners around valuation, timing, and terms — buy-ins, buyouts, and full processes that treat every holder's stake with the same care.

Management owned

Operators who became owners — through a buyout, earn-in, or succession. We advise on recapitalizations, the next buyout, and the exit that rewards the team that built the value.

The Owner's Brief

One useful read a month, owner to owner.

MaximForte Private Wealth — A New York–Registered Investment Adviser

After the exit, the work changes. So should the advice.

The fourth arc of the flywheel is now open. MaximForte Private Wealth LLC stewards what an exit creates — purpose-built for business owners and their families, by the firm that guided the sale.

i.

Wealth Transition Planning

Translating sale proceeds into a long-term plan — liquidity structuring, goals, and the first-year roadmap after a transaction closes.

ii.

Investment Management

Discretionary portfolio management for post-exit families — built around durability, income, and the owner's next chapter.

iii.

Coordination & Stewardship

Working alongside the family's tax, estate, and insurance advisors so the plan functions as one whole — across generations.

Contact

The first conversation costs nothing but an hour.

It's private, without obligation, and useful whatever you decide: you'll leave with a clearer picture of what your company could be worth, what buyers would scrutinize, and whether now — or later — is your moment. Most owners tell us they wish they'd started this conversation two years earlier.
