We advise founder-owned businesses on their most important financial transaction:
the sale of their company.
Founded by a Wall Street banker with over $20 billion in closed transactions,
Corris brings institutional advisory and a disciplined process built to maximize value for companies
valued between $25M and $250M+.
For generations, the quarries of Corris produced slate prized the world over, drawn from solid rock, split with precision, and refined into a material of lasting value.
We took the name deliberately. Like raw slate, a great business holds value that isn’t always obvious from the outside. Our mandate is to extract that value, refine it, and present it to the market with precision, so that what you spent a career building is fully recognized and realized at its maximum value.

















We advise U.S.-based, founder-owned businesses across industries, typically on exits of $25M to $250M+ in enterprise value. We run a comprehensive sell-side process, drawing on a proprietary network of strategic and private-equity buyers to command the highest possible value.
Our core practice. Advising founders on the full sale of their company to strategic and private-equity buyers.
Sourcing, valuing, and executing acquisitions for clients growing through strategic add-ons.
Structuring and raising debt and equity capital for growth, recapitalizations, and liquidity.
Independent counsel on restructurings, fairness opinions, and complex corporate finance decisions.
A select number of representative outcomes reflecting significant value creation are identified below. Additional transactions are available to discuss on a confidential basis.
One of the oldest firearms businesses in the U.S. contemplated a potential transaction at ~$60 million. We restructured the company into 7 separate divisions and ran a competitive process targeting private equity and strategic buyers for each division independently.
Advised Board of Directors of publicly traded energy company on strategic alternatives. Ran competitive process with strategic and private equity buyers, driving multiple bid increases through negotiation. Delivered all-cash acquisition by ProFrac.
Family-owned midwest equipment rental business had offers at $250 million. We introduced competitive tension and identified a strategic buyer. Professional buyers respect a disciplined process and reward it, in both value and certainty of close.
Small agriculture division within multi-billion dollar conglomerate. Limited strategic fit and long-term value internally. Parent company was planning to shut it down. We ran a competitive process and found a partner who saw significantly higher value than where the conglomerate viewed the business.
“A strong company won’t sell for a great valuation automatically. It needs access to the right buyers, the right process, and the right strategy. We bring world-class access to all of these, drawn from our experience and relationships on Wall Street.”
A clear, five-step process refined over a decade and $20 billion in transactions, designed to position your company with the right acquirers and secure the highest possible value.
We diligence the business, analyze the financials, and position it to command a premium.
We build the marketing materials and the buyer list most likely to deliver a premium valuation.
We approach the right buyers discreetly. No public auction, no broad public disclosure.
We drive multiple offers and negotiate strategically across price and terms.
We manage diligence and guide the deal to a clean, successful close.
A private conversation to understand your goals and your timeline, and to show you exactly how a sale would work.
Request a ConsultationFounder-owned businesses with significant enterprise value are too often underserved, settling for generalist brokers or “main street” listings that lack the competitive process a premium outcome demands.
Corris Advisory was founded by a Wall Street investment banker with over $20+ billion in transaction experience to bring that same institutional rigor to businesses valued between $25M and $250M+.
Our process is discreet, competitive, and built to maximize not only headline price, but certainty of close and favorable terms, giving our clients access to the relationships, the process, and the negotiating strategy that founder-owned businesses are rarely able to reach on their own.

Kishan began his Wall Street career in 2015, building a decade-long track record advising Fortune 500 companies, Boards of Directors, private equity firms, and hedge funds on complex corporate finance transactions.
His expertise spans the full spectrum of M&A and capital markets advisory: sell-side transactions, buy-side transactions, debt and equity capital raises, restructurings, and bankruptcy processes.
As one of the youngest Managing Directors in the industry, he has closed over $20+ billion in transactions. He founded Corris Advisory to bring that same institutional rigor and competitive process to founder-owned businesses that have historically been underserved by high-volume transactional brokers and legacy advisors.
Direct answers and insights on process, valuation, fit, and timing. If your question isn’t here, ask us directly.
Request a ConsultationThis process works best for U.S.-based founder-owned businesses targeting $25M–$250M+ Enterprise Value with scalable operations, transferable management infrastructure, and commitment to selling. We’re not a fit for lifestyle businesses, “testing the market” sellers, or companies seeking free valuations.
Business brokers market listings broadly and wait for inbound interest. Corris Advisory runs a discreet, competitive process targeting institutional buyers to maximize value and certainty of close.
We don’t provide valuations before market engagement — true price discovery requires a competitive process with qualified buyers. The market determines value, not speculation or back-of-envelope calculations.
We reach every qualified buyer in the market — typically 100+ institutional buyers across strategic and private equity channels. If offers don’t meet expectations, we provide a detailed assessment of what prevented alignment and a clear roadmap to address those gaps before re-engaging the market.
Our core focus is $25M–$250M+ transactions. In select cases, we may work outside that range if complexity and strategic fit warrant institutional guidance.
We work across all industries — our focus is on business quality, cash flow, scalability, and buyer fit, not sector restrictions. Representative experience includes business services, industrials, manufacturing, energy, technology, and real estate.
Every process is unique based on company characteristics and objectives, but most engagements run 6–12 months from kickoff to close. Starting early gives us time to position the business properly and run a competitive process that maximizes value.
The consultation is a session to walk through our process, timeline, and what a full sell-side mandate looks like. It’s the best way to understand if Corris Advisory is the right fit for your exit.
A confidential consultation to walk through your goals and timeline, and determine whether your business qualifies for our sale process.
