Business Transition Strategies (BTS) is a trusted M&A advisor for lower mid-market businesses, specializing in companies with annual revenues between $2MM and $20MM. These businesses are often too large for traditional “main street” brokers but not quite big enough for large investment banks—BTS bridges that gap by bringing mid-market M&A expertise to this underserved segment.
With a team of professionals from diverse business backgrounds, BTS offers deep insight into privately held companies across industries such as manufacturing, distribution, and more. The firm applies proven strategies to help owners achieve their goals, whether that means selling, growing through acquisition, or planning for succession.
Originally a division of New Hampshire Business Sales, Inc, a firm with roots dating back to 1976, BTS is built on decades of experience in private business sales.
In December 2023, BTS merged with Touchstone Advisors, a leading M&A firm based in Connecticut. This strategic partnership expanded BTS’s capabilities while preserving its personalized approach to serving lower mid-market clients.
Today, BTS continues to deliver expert M&A advisory, consulting, and exit planning services. With a client-first mindset and a comprehensive approach, BTS helps business owners navigate complex transitions and move confidently into their next chapter.
If your transition timeline is a year or more out, BTS can assist you in preparing and positioning your business for a transition down the road. Through advisory engagements, we help owners maximize the value of their businesses and enhance operations in ways that will pave the way for the next step whether that is an exit or a growth strategy. Our experience in the industry along with our associations and affiliations, give us insight into what is expected for a transition to successfully occur. Only a small fraction of privately held businesses successfully transfer either to the next generation or to an outside entity. Those best prepared with a strong foundation will achieve the best results.

“I wanted to thank both of you on behalf of Equity Management Partners for the helpful and very professional manner in which you managed the sale of New England Techni-coil, Inc. As you know well, these types of transactions are often long and complicated and I doubt it could have been successfully completed without your close ongoing involvement.”
