Halifax West

Halifax West is an entrepreneurial advisory firm and merchant bank that supports companies and independent sponsors with high-impact advisory services. Founded in 2016, our team has grown to include professionals from top investment banks, consulting firms, restructuring firms, law practices, and operators, all working together to reimagine professional services. We provide practical, execution-focused support with fee structures aligned to outcomes rather than hours. Our advisory platform is focused on 3 main service lines. In our transactions practice, we lead both buy-side and sell-side M&A processes, structure and execute capital raises across the capital stack, and support valuation, diligence, and strategic financing efforts. Beyond the transaction, our operations group helps clients strengthen their businesses through interim executive leadership, cost optimization, growth planning, and financial stabilization. Our restructuring work includes reorganizations, workouts, and creditor negotiations, always with the goal of building stronger, more resilient companies. As a merchant bank, we partner primarily with independent sponsors pursuing lower middle market acquisitions. In these transactions, we provide buy-side and capital advisory support, assist with diligence when needed, and co-invest directly into the transaction. We frequently take post-acquisition roles where we play an active role in driving strategic execution and long-term value creation post-close. Our model is built around shared incentives, and we are always looking for strong independent sponsors and compelling opportunities where we can contribute capital, execution, and strategic insight.
