We invest in, acquire, and operate businesses as an independent sponsor.
Hawk Strategic Advisors, LLC is a boutique advisory firm in the Cleveland area. We work across the complete arc of a deal, from how it is sourced and structured to how it is financed and run after close. Our senior team averages more than 25 years of transactional experience, and we build a dedicated team for each engagement rather than dividing a standing staff across many.
Strategy
Acquisition planning and capital raising. We help define what to buy, why, and how it will be funded before the first conversation with a seller.
Representation
Buyer-side search and representation, including letter of intent and negotiation. We sit on your side of the table.
Execution
Due diligence, definitive agreements, opinion letters, and intangible asset allocation for the IRS. The work that turns a signed LOI into a closed deal.
How the model works
Rather than managing a pooled fund, we identify a target company, sign a letter of intent, and then assemble the equity and debt for that transaction on its own terms. After closing, we typically take an active role in managing and growing the business.
