We had busy year closing add-on acquisitions for the portfolio companies of Private Equity firms. We are grateful for our valued sponsor relationships and look forward to partnering with you again in 2025!


Third Coast Capital Advisors is an investment banking firm in Chicago, focused exclusively on buyside work. We provide three primary services to our clients:

  • Acquisition Search: Our core focus is to work with PE owned portfolio companies and corporate clients to identify, contact, and execute directly negotiated acquisitions on their behalf.

  • M&A Opportunity Assessment: We perform market research during a competitive sale process to assess and validate the add-on potential for a new platform.

  • Buyside Consulting Services: We provide project based services including acquisition strategy development, market research and corporate development support.
