A modern merchant house
for private markets.
Connecting business owners, long-term capital, and proprietary opportunities.
We work with owners exploring succession or liquidity and with acquirers seeking proprietary opportunities.
Private markets begin
with relationships.
Serica develops direct relationships with business owners before a formal transaction process begins. We understand what an owner is actually considering, qualify the opportunity, and connect the business with a small number of investors whose mandate, capital, time horizon, and ownership philosophy fit.
- ◆Direct founder and owner relationships
- ◆Proprietary opportunity development
- ◆Mandate-driven buyer matching
- ◆Confidential, relationship-led introductions
Two sides of every private transaction.
Business Owners
Private succession, liquidity, and strategic transaction options for founder- and family-owned businesses.
For Business Owners→Proprietary Opportunities
Qualified founder-owned businesses introduced selectively to long-term investors and acquirers.
For Buyers→Buy-Side Origination
Dedicated proprietary sourcing for investors with a defined acquisition thesis.
Buy-Side Services→Not every business belongs
in an auction.
Serica develops private relationships between business owners and long-term acquirers before a formal transaction process begins. We focus on fit, discretion, and ownership alignment rather than broad market exposure.
For owners, that means more control over who they meet. For buyers, it means access to opportunities that may never enter a traditional sale process.
The next owner matters.
Selling or recapitalizing a business is more than a financial transaction. Serica helps founders and family business owners privately explore potential successors and capital partners without immediately committing to a broad sale process.

- ◆Majority or partial liquidity
- ◆Long-term capital partner

Proprietary access starts before the auction.
Serica works with permanent holding companies, family offices, private equity firms, independent sponsors, and strategic acquirers seeking founder-owned businesses outside traditional auction processes.
Already know what you want to acquire? Serica also executes dedicated buy-side origination mandates against defined sector, geography, EBITDA, ownership, and transaction criteria.

For founders who care deeply about stewardship, culture, faith, employees, or legacy, Serica can prioritize long-term acquirers whose ownership philosophy reflects those objectives.
