"Legacy-minded M&A advisory for entrepreneurs who care about what happens after the ink dries."
Gratia Equity Partners is a Texas-based boutique investment bank and private equity sponsor focused exclusively on the lower middle market. We represent business owners in sell-side M&A transactions and selectively sponsor acquisitions as an equity partner.
Our clients are founders and family-owned businesses with $5M–$100M in enterprise value. They deserve the same precision, process, and discretion as any Fortune 500 transaction — and that is exactly what we deliver.
