"FOCUS Capital Partners have been our trusted corporate finance and tax advisors across a number of transactions for over 5 years. As part of our team they assisted us in acquiring Elm Hall in 2018 and complete a successful turnaround and recent sale. A special thank you in particular to Rob Adams, Paddy Dooley, and David Brophy for their professionalism, commercial and technical expertise throughout this process."

“I had never been through the process and the team at FOCUS was a fantastic resource as they guided us through the details of getting a deal done. Whether it was explaining something, helping negotiate, or helping our team navigate details, the FOCUS team stood ready to help and respond with anything we needed. There’s no question our deal was more efficient and I was more informed because of the FOCUS team.”

“We enjoyed working with Eric Yetter and Andy Snyder at FOCUS Investment Banking. They did a great job walking our group through the entire process.  As physicians, there’s a lot we don’t fully understand about the business world. Eric and Andy were patient and did a great job explaining things to me as they came up throughout the transaction. I highly recommend working with them. Doing this without representation would be both foolish and stressful.”

“Without the help of FOCUS’s Mike McCraw and Kate Elliott, we would not be celebrating this sale.  FOCUS held our hand from the complete start to the very end and went above and beyond. We were extremely happy with the outcome and would recommend this team to everyone.”
