ABOUT
WHO
WE ARE
OnMark Capital is a leading acquisition advisory firm providing dedicated outsourced corporate development and deal origination services to a select group of family offices, independent sponsors, private equity firms, and corporations across North America and Europe. Our services are designed for acquirers who are seeking new platforms, add-ons, or strategic acquisitions of middle market companies. Our specialization is helping clients build and execute a sustainable, long-term inorganic growth strategy rather than an individual, opportunistic approach.
OUR PROMISE
As a trusted advisor, our clients depend on OnMark Capital to help execute one of their most important strategic growth initiatives – M&A. We can deliver on this unwavering commitment to obtaining superior outcomes because we are 100% focused on acquisitions. We are experts in developing consistent and ongoing data-driven marketing campaigns; and we manage the process of discreet and professional outreach to middle market privately held companies, family and founder-owned businesses. Our targeted approach is strategic, tailored, flexible, and results-driven.
OnMark Capital was founded on the principles of integrity, honesty, tenacity, and transparency. We believe that building trust and cultivating long-term relationships are essential to delivering impactful results to both buyers and sellers throughout an M&A process.
