Onyx Associates

Integrated Merger, Acquisition and Capital Services for Today’s Challenging Market

Clearly, in 2009, businesses worldwide are confronted by significant Challenges...But 2009 could also offer major Opportunities for accelerated Growth, increased Corporate Valuation, and enhanced Market Position.

Driving Opportunities in Today’s Market

Onyx Associates is an Investment Banking and Business Consulting firm founded in 2002. Over many years, in the USA and Worldwide, our principals, all of whom are former C-level Executives, have driven and participated in hundreds of Mergers and Acquisitions, Strategic Financings, Startups, Distressed Company Turnarounds and Corporate Divestitures. We're personally cognizant of the process, thinking, and actions to develop a strategic advantage in troubled times.

Many corporations are struggling to maintain an upward momentum in this era of tight credit, cautious customers, and slow growth. The events of recent months may have sorely tested business results. In many cases, previous Growth or Exit plans may have been put on hold or Acquisition strategies shelved, not to mention unscheduled reductions of headcount and urgent searches for sources of increased productivity.

But we believe implementation of relevant refined business practices, careful financial management or smart strategic business development could yield exceptional opportunities to the private company, business owner or investor thinking beyond the gloom and doom of today’s market.

Onyx Associates stands ready to assist clients in driving such opportunities with successful results
