Based on activity on Axial’s M&A platform, the core revenue range for Retail Distributors Family Offices is $4M-$20M, with a core EBITDA range of $900K-$4M. Company size can be an important indicator of fit, as firms often concentrate their experience, resources, and transaction activity within particular segments of the market.

Relevant Distribution experience can be an important consideration when evaluating a firm.
