About Us
About Terranova Business Group
A “Terranova” means new land and is crucial to our focus in landscaping. Terranova Business Group possesses the proven expertise and capability to effectively coordinate various aspects of a deal, ensuring a seamless transition. Every transaction presents unique challenges.
Therefore, it is essential to engage an M&A advisor who can offer solutions to intricate issues, manage the process successfully, and achieve the desired outcome. Terranova operates as a comprehensive mergers and acquisitions advisory firm, specializing in the often overlooked sector of the M&A market—companies with annual sales ranging from $2 million to $100 million.
While many business brokers in the DC Metro and nearby areas concentrate on main street business sales like restaurants, retail, and small service businesses, our focus is on an underserved market, specifically lower middle-market privately owned mid Atlantic-based businesses.
Typically, investment bankers in Washington DC not only confine their services to clients with a minimum of $50 to $100 million in gross sales but also require upfront retainers. In contrast, Terranova Business group has developed a proven system for marketing and managing the transaction process for lower-middle-market businesses, yielding successful results.
Our distinct method resembles that of investment banking, but our fee arrangement is performance-driven, indicating that our compensation is received after the transaction has been finalized.

With a track record of over 200 completed transactions, our company boasts extensive expertise across various industries such as manufacturing, wholesale distribution, services, healthcare, ecommerce, technology, logistics, landscape, and professional services.
Our advisors are adept at overseeing the sales process, skillfully guiding it to maintain a smooth and organized progression. This approach ensures the protection of sensitive information, minimizes uncertainties, and ultimately secures the best possible price and terms.
