Oaklyn Consulting Celebrates 10 Years of Helping Businesses Navigate Critical Capital Decisions
Oaklyn Consulting, a Chattanooga-based mergers, acquisitions and capital-raising consulting firm, today celebrated the 10th anniversary of its founding in 2016.
Founded by investment banker Frank Williamson, Oaklyn Consulting helps small- and mid-sized organizations — both commercial and nonprofit — navigate significant transitions that can shape the future of their organizations. Over the past decade, Oaklyn Consulting has served more than 200 clients and advised or impacted more than 4,000 business owners, investors, employees and other stakeholders.
The firm’s success reflects organizations’ ongoing need for independent, strategic advice in making critical capital decisions. Charging time-based fees and never taking commissions, Oaklyn Consulting acts as a consultant rather than a broker, helping clients evaluate options, address complex situations, make informed decisions about their future and negotiate from a position of strength.
“Oaklyn Consulting began as an experiment,” Williamson said. “We believed there was an effective way to serve organizational leaders whose situations didn’t fit the traditional investment banking model. Over the past 10 years, we’ve learned that clients benefit from objective advice, our industry peers value having a trusted resource for challenging situations and there is a meaningful need for a different approach to investment banking. We’re grateful for the trust our clients and referral partners have placed in us over the past decade, and we’re energized to continue growing and serving clients in the years to come.”
