Our Company

Founded in 1984, Mergers & Business Acquisitions, Inc. ("M&BA") is a Los Angeles based firm specializing in Corporate Growth & Exit Strategy. M&BA provides comprehensive mergers & acquisitions services to manufacturers and distributors, primarily in the Aerospace & Defense sectors. Resulting from years of experience in these sectors, M&BA is very familiar with high potential strategic buyers, as well as private equity groups, bankers, and service providers. This familiarity and trust enable M&BA to perform effective and efficient selling processes, maximizing the benefits for the sellers it represents.
