Harney Capital Launches to Provide Capital Solutions and M&A to Middle-Market Companies

An investment and banking company created to provide services tailored to the needs of private businesses and limited liability companies.

CHICAGO, IL / ACCESSWIRE / September 3, 2024 / Harney Capital, a newly formed national boutique investment banking firm, is proud to announce the launch of comprehensive capital and M&A solutions for privately held and middle-market limited liability companies.

Harney Capital is a partnership inspired by the leadership of Harney Partners, a 30-year corporate advisory firm, and 20-year investment banking veteran Erik Welchko, who will lead the new firm. While Harney Capital and Harney Partners will operate independently, they will maintain a strategic relationship to enable the sharing of advisory services and expertise.

“We are excited to fill a critical need for mid-market companies navigating the complex capital markets landscape and provide them with access to services typically reserved for much larger companies,” said Eric Welchko, CEO of Harney Capital. “Our strategic alliance with Harney Partners allows us to provide our clients with seasoned veterans who have dedicated their careers to solving complex corporate finance problems with world-class solutions.”

Harney Capital specializes in mergers and acquisitions, raising debt and equity capital, and providing strategic options to owners of privately held businesses. Through its strategic alliance with Harney Partners, the firm will also provide strategic advisory, restructuring, and turnaround services to businesses facing unique or challenging situations.

“Harney Capital is a natural fit to further expand Harney Partners’ existing transaction advisory services,” said Jim Harney, president of Harney Partners. “Eric and his team have access to an extensive network of acquirers, investors and capital providers to support exit and succession plans, fund growth or simply buy more time on the runway, which will be a huge benefit to many of our clients.”

“I have worked closely with the Harney Partners team for 10 years and have witnessed their adeptness in engaging with private companies and gaining the trust of sophisticated institutional capital providers, including banks, commercial finance and private equity firms,” said Welchko.

Harney Capital currently has offices in Chicago and Dallas.
