# Oaklyn Consulting > Investment banking advisory and M&A consulting for small to mid-sized organizations, nonprofits and venture-backed companies. Based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and serving clients across the United States. Oaklyn Consulting works as consultants, not brokers, and does not work for success fees. That means advice is not tied to whether a deal closes. The firm advises on mergers, acquisitions, sales, capital raises, recapitalizations, succession, joint ventures and investor relations, and specializes in situations traditional investment banks decline: smaller deal sizes, complex governance, nonprofits and first-time sellers. ## Core pages - [How We Help](https://oaklynconsulting.com/solutions/): the full range of advisory services. - [About Us](https://oaklynconsulting.com/about-us/): the firm, its approach and its team. - [Resources](https://oaklynconsulting.com/news/): all articles, deals, case studies and videos. - [Toolkit](https://oaklynconsulting.com/resources/): downloadable guides on selling, buying and valuing a business. - [Contact Us](https://oaklynconsulting.com/contact-us/): get in touch. ## Who they serve - [Founder & Family-Owned Businesses](https://oaklynconsulting.com/founder-family-owned-businesses/) - [Venture Capital Portfolio Companies](https://oaklynconsulting.com/venture-capital/) - [Investment Bankers](https://oaklynconsulting.com/investment-banking-support/) - [Strategic Exit Advisors](https://oaklynconsulting.com/strategic-exit-advisors/) - [Peer Referrals](https://oaklynconsulting.com/peer-referrals/) ## Content library - [Insights](https://oaklynconsulting.com/insights/): original articles on M&A and capital decisions. - [Deals](https://oaklynconsulting.com/deals/): transactions Oaklyn Consulting has advised on. - [Case Studies](https://oaklynconsulting.com/case-studies/): client outcomes, including video stories. - [Ask Us Anything](https://oaklynconsulting.com/ask-us-anything/): reader questions answered by Frank Williamson. - [Features](https://oaklynconsulting.com/features/): articles published in outside publications. - [In The News](https://oaklynconsulting.com/in-the-news/): firm announcements. - [Videos](https://oaklynconsulting.com/video/) ## Notes - Articles are written by Frank Williamson, Founder and CEO, unless stated otherwise. - Full URL list: https://oaklynconsulting.com/sitemap.xml
