Firm Profile

ILEX is a financial advisory and private equity firm investing in and sponsoring a wide variety of corporate finance initiatives.  We provide equity and equity-linked capital to value-driven management teams to acquire and grow closely-held businesses, “non-core” operations of larger corporations, and micro-cap publicly traded companies.

We offer creative financial solutions, prefer control positions, make reasoned use of leverage to finance our acquisitions, and facilitate access to a broad network of strategic contacts and operationally-focused executives to maximize the long-term prosperity of our portfolio companies.  Operating under their own management, our portfolio companies each function on an independent basis. As investors, we provide oversight and strategic leadership to our portfolio companies in the areas of strategic development, process improvement, and acquisitions, joint-ventures and strategic alliances.

We believe maintaining a competitive advantage in our core businesses demands a cooperative spirit and a level of hands-on participation most commonly found in smaller organizations. Since our inception, we have set out to build – in the employees we work with and the projects we undertake – an organization dedicated to the highest caliber of conduct and professionalism.

We are able to deliver solutions through a system of unique resources, process, and the perspective that we bring to private equity transactions. ILEX has developed a systematic, open, and proven transaction process. It is the driving force of our firm and distinguishes us from other investment banks serving our market.

With extensive transaction experience and a group of seasoned operating and financial executives, our firm provides a unique value proposition. We bring a strong operating perspective, a wealth of practical experience, and a unique transaction process to our clients.

Thank you for visiting ILEX through our web site, but this is nothing more than an introduction. Of course, there is no substitute for a face-to-face conversation. Please call to set up a meeting with a member of our firm if you would like to learn more. We encourage prospective clients to get to know us well in advance of any potential assignment.

We look forward to meeting with you and exploring areas in which we may provide value.
