Our Expertise
Since 1988, RA Capital Advisors has provided financial and strategic advisory services to a select group of clients across multiple industries. We limit the number of engagements undertaken, thus allowing the client/professional ratio to remain low.
An Integrated Approach
The firm’s principals developed our unique core competencies through three decades of hands-on operating, transactional and strategic experience. This experience and knowledge has enabled the firm to play a key role in influencing strategies that have maximized shareholder value for the firm’s clients.
We differentiate our firm through an “in the trenches” approach to client service. We build integrated working relationships with our clients and seek a deep level of understanding of their business. Our clients often comment that we ultimately end up “knowing the business better” than their other advisors.
We pursue our intensive client service approach to creating shareholder value through the following advisory services:

Mergers, Acquisitions,
and Divestitures
(Sellside and Buyside Advisory)
Navigating the M&A market is something many private businesses only do once, yet doing so carries significant future consequences for both the shareholders and the company. Our firm and our principals have been recognized as leaders in M&A and have extensive experience structuring transactions. As the company’s representative, we leverage our experience to optimize both value and economic terms to meet our clients’ objectives. Whether our client is looking to acquire new businesses or to realize a full or partial sale, we provide a high-touch approach to guide the transaction to a successful close.

Growth Capital
Companies that seek to make acquisitions or pursue other growth opportunities do not always have the funds readily available to execute on management’s strategy. Our team pursues targeted sources of debt and equity capital to obtain the best value and terms for our clients – allowing the company’s management to execute their vision on sound financial footing.

Recapitalization
As a main source of their personal wealth, private business owners may desire to realize some liquidity without exiting the company. A common situation arises when inactive partners wish to sell while active owners wish to stay. RA Capital Advisors assists owners with strategic options including dividend recapitalizations, sales of minority stakes, and ESOP alternatives (analyzed in partnership with The Beyster Institute) to best match all owners’ desire for liquidity with ongoing control and involvement with the business.
