What sets us apart
Unlike M&A groups at bigger banks, which are constantly pressured to find a large fee-generating deal, we focus on you, not fees. That means less pressure and more patience to find the right deal, not the first deal. No matter what, you get our full attention.
Other ingredients to our success:
Preparation
Our team has major deal experience. We've been through it before, we understand the pitfalls and opportunities, and we know how to execute.
Passion
We're in this with you. When we collaborate with you to create a compelling growth story, we're legitimately compelled by your story. We're excited to help you excel in your next chapter.
Proactivity
We bring the full Umpqua banking solution to every phase of your journey: financing, treasury management, even wealth management for clients looking to invest after a sale. Your relationship with Umpqua lives on well after the deal is done.
