Founded in 1935, The Bigelow Company is independently owned by our Managing Directors—unlike the large, diversified financial firms with whom we compete. Our only source of revenue is from our clients, and we thrive at having our own capital at risk.
Because we are independently owned and agnostic as to industry, we are conflict-free. We are career-long practitioners of our craft who leverage our unique individual strengths into a collaborative team that has worked together on client engagements for an average of almost 20 years.
Our exceptional skills in value creation, combined with our team "swarm" methodology, enhance the value capture process.
We recognize that the qualitative fit of the next investment partner is vital to our clients. We honor the fact that the bottom line isn't always everything.
Ours is not a "one-size-fits-all" commoditized process. We approach each client engagement with creativity and flexibility – developing adaptive solutions rooted in a clear understanding of each client's goals, values, and industry.
Clients frequently tell us that we surpassed their valuation expectations. We are committed to successfully structuring the ownership transition only to the right investor, for the right reasons.

At The Bigelow Company, we believe in being held accountable for our work. We share our clients' risk through the mechanism of success fee compensation. We appreciate the compensation that results from our willingness to be highly "at risk" with our clients.
