Albemarle Advisors provides owners of privately-held and family-owned businesses with a unique resource that enables them to access the expertise and experience of a private equity professional on a fee for service basis. Our professionals have spent the majority of their careers as institutional private equity investors in, and advisors to, business service, healthcare service, manufacturing and distribution companies located throughout North America.

As investors, board members and advisors to these companies, we have successfully partnered with entrepreneurs to finance, grow and exit their businesses. Armed with this skill set and experience, we now assist business owners that seek an engaged and committed partner that enables them to focus on day-to-day operations while we supplement their expertise on longer-term strategic issues with the common goal of increasing the equity value of the Company.

Our approach is founded on the belief that long-term value creation is driven by developing and implementing a practical strategic plan that increases both the quantity and the quality of the company’s earnings. By partnering with business owners to establish a strategic plan that delivers an operating model with predictable and sustainable growth, we ensure that they can pursue multiple exit alternatives so they have the flexibility to choose the liquidity or succession option best suited for their unique situations.

Albemarle was created to provide honest, unbiased strategic advice to assist family-owned businesses in defining their company’s potential and developing and implementing a plan to optimize long-term performance and value creation. Our counsel is grounded in real world experience. Therefore, it enables us to work with our clients to institutionalize the entrepreneurial spirit that makes their company great so they can achieve their operating, financial and personal goals.
