Buy-Side

What We Do

We are proud to partner with Private Equity firms and their portfolio companies to deliver winning acquisition outcomes. At Harbor View, we know that success in buy-side M&A requires more than just a strategy. It requires urgency, collaboration, and a process that cuts through the noise. Our buy-side advisory practice is designed to help clients proactively source, engage, and execute on both platform and add-on acquisitions.

We bring a listen-first approach to defining objectives, mapping the market, and prioritizing acquisition targets. From there, we launch an outreach initiative that emphasizes clarity, persistence, and differentiation in a crowded landscape. Founders and owners are inundated with inbounds; our process focuses on breaking through with research-driven insights, authentic messaging, and a relentless commitment to building our client’s M&A brand.

By blending deep investment banking expertise with a management consulting mindset, we facilitate high-impact acquisitions that accelerate growth and build competitive advantage.
