One Unique COLLABORATIVE TEAM
At Bigelow, we first advise our owner-manager clients on value creation strategies, and then attain the highest achievable values for them through recapitalization or divestiture. We are known for our willingness to invest the time, active listening, and empathy required to satisfy the objectives of multiple stakeholders. It is not a cookie-cutter approach. It takes a lot of energy and time spent understanding the specific circumstances of each owner-managed business.
We SUCCEED Only When Our Clients Do
We work only with a select number of clients at any given time, which allows us to concentrate all of our creativity and talent on a small number of clients to whom we bring great value.
"We have developed our unique 'swarm' strategy, where — unlike our bureaucratic competitors whose teams are made up of junior people usually relegated to specific industry silos — we swarm each new client engagement with a collaborative team of widely experienced senior people who have complementary functional skills and creative strengths. This allows us to achieve 'time compression' for our clients, helping them achieve their goals with speed and high probability."

Managing Director
The Bigelow Company
Because we succeed only when you do, our "skin is in the game" — big time. We personally research, negotiate, and manage all aspects of every engagement, and pride ourselves on building long-term, mutually rewarding relationships that transcend mere transactions.
We believe that great advisors are dependable in all of their relationships. Personally and professionally, they are the kind of people in whom friends and clients place their trust and confidence. Otherwise, why would you want them to "advise" you on anything?
We choose our clients as carefully as we choose our friends, because we believe that the single most predictive factor of success in a strategic advisory relationship is positive chemistry.
