Benning Associates has the ability to execute on a wide range of client investment banking needs, with the sophistication of bankers who were trained at large international investment banks, and the attentive service-oriented approach of a middle market boutique.

Successfully executing corporate transactions in the middle market requires a different banking skill set than "large cap, investment grade deals." Transaction risks are higher, because companies have more concentrated businesses, key employees and customers, and potentially fewer counterparties. Bankers need to be able to have very personal conversations with private company owners, as well as debate valuation and structure with Fortune 1000 counterparties and institutional investors. The need for transaction alternatives is key to maintaining an effective negotiating position. Services listed herein required to be performed by a registered broker-dealer including acquisitions and sales invovling stock or debt, as well as capital-sourcing, shall be performed by principals of Benning Associates LLC, acting as registered securities agents of Burch & Company, Inc.
