Richmond based investment bank’s new name reflects its emphasis on guiding founders through the full arc of a transaction — including what happens after the deal closes.
RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Transact Capital, a licensed investment bank and member of FINRA and SIPC specializing in mergers and acquisitions for founder-led, lower-middle-market businesses, today announced it has rebranded as Sequel Advisors. The change reflects the firm’s approach to M&A advisory: helping founders navigate not just the transaction itself, but the outcome that follows it.
Founded in 2003 and based in Richmond, Virginia, Sequel Advisors is a boutique firm advising founders primarily on sell-side M&A transactions, with a core focus on business services and growing practice areas in technology, healthcare, industrials, and adjacent sectors. Many of the firm’s team members are former founders and operators themselves.
“Why rebrand? The firm we’ve become deserves a name that actually describes it, and because the founders we serve deserve to know exactly what they’re getting before they ever pick up the phone. Our name now matches the way we’ve always done the work ” said Patrick Morin, Managing Partner at Sequel Advisors.
The rebrand includes a new visual identity and a redesigned website, sequeladvisors.com, featuring an expanded collection of client case studies detailing founders’ experiences working with the firm from engagement through post-close. The firm’s leadership, team, and day-to-day operations remain unchanged. Learn more about the team here.
