Matt Bradbury - Understanding the Different Types of Private Equity

Matt Bradbury is the founder and managing principal of Business Acquisition & Merger Associates (BAMA), a boutique M&A advisory firm he established 20 years ago after a successful 15-year career in multi-unit start-ups, turnarounds, mergers and acquisitions, and operations. Under his leadership, BAMA has grown into a respected firm, facilitating the sale of 10-12 companies annually, each generating $1M to $15M in EBITDA.
With a track record spanning more than 215 transactions and $1.8 billion in transaction volume, Matt has earned a reputation for delivering exceptional results. His expertise extends deeply into the landscaping and facility services industries, where BAMA has closed over $200 million in transactions. These include companies specializing in installation, maintenance, chemical application, tree services, growing operations, and other facility services.
In addition to advisory services, Matt's entrepreneurial spirit led to an investment alongside a client four years ago. Through organic growth and strategic acquisitions, this venture has become one of the largest players in the Carolinas' landscaping sector. Matt's unique combination of hands-on operational experience and M&A acumen continues to drive success for BAMA and its clients.
