Serving You Where You Are

Industries

The TKO Miller team advises clients on a wide range of businesses nationally. However, we’ve also developed a strong reputation for having deep industry knowledge in several areas. The TKO Miller team can use this expertise in specific industries to drive superior outcomes for clients by way of better buyers, better execution, additional value, and strategic thinking.

Helping Family Businesses Achieve Value

Although we are a generalist M&A firm, we do have one speciality: working with family- and founder-held businesses. We understand the emotional and financial implications that come with parting with a company that may have been in the family for generations.

Families may need more time to consider all the possible results of a sale, and we bring expertise in navigating these potentially delicate situations. We help you understand the terms and conditions involved with a transaction, and we spend time ensuring you feel completely comfortable with the entire experience.

Experience Across Industries

As a result of the diverse backgrounds of our accomplished M&A professionals, we have developed mergers and acquisitions expertise in certain industry areas. These areas of M&A expertise include:

Diversified Industrial Manufacturing

We have deep experience across sectors such as industrial building products, scaffolding, construction materials, chemicals, industrial technology, and components. This diverse category of companies requires talented and experienced banking professionals.
