Texas Gulf Capital Teams with M&A Professionals to Launch Post Oak Associates

Houston – July 31, 2014 – Texas Gulf Capital, a private equity firm focused on investments  in small and medium-sized businesses, today announced that it has partnered with several Texas-based mergers & acquisitions (“M&A”) and business brokerage veterans to establish a new portfolio company,  Post Oak Associates, LLC (“Post Oak Associates” or the “Company”), that will provide premium M&A advisory and consulting services to small and medium-sized businesses (“SMB’s”).

Post Oak Associates initially will focus on advising SMB’s with at least $1 million but less than $50 million in revenue located in Texas and active in manufacturing, distribution, or services. The Company will serve only a small number of carefully selected clients each year who desire premium, middle-market-quality services for their SMB’s.

“Texas Gulf Capital’s investment in Post Oak Associates furthers our goal of bringing middle-market-quality capital and services to the largely ignored SMB market. We intend for Post Oak Associates to carve out a premium niche position in the market for sellers interested in making the most of their once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to monetize their businesses and to ensure that their legacy and employees are well-protected,” said Andrew Brown, Managing Director with Texas Gulf Capital.
