CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (August 15, 2025) — FourBridges Capital Advisors is proud to announce that it has been ranked among the top 10 on Axial’s Top 25 Lower Middle Market Investment Banks for the second quarter of 2025. This is the second time that FourBridges has made Axial’s list of top lower middle market investment banks.

Based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, FourBridges Capital Advisors specializes in industrial, commercial and residential services as well as manufacturing and consumer products. “Operating in an extremely competitive market, we’re gratified that FourBridges stood out among the many high quality firms out there,” said Managing Director, Andy Stockett.

“We’re pleased to be recognized for our continued focus on owner entrepreneurs and solving not just the financial challenges they face when selling their business, but the emotional and personal factors that accompany the process,” said Stockett. “Our attention to detail and commitment to dive for loose footballs probably helped as well,” he added.

Founded in 2009, Axial brings together American small business owners and lower middle market M&A professionals on the industry’s most trusted and advanced online M&A platform. 

To create the list, Axial reviewed the deal activity of 400+ investment banks and advisory firms that serve businesses with an annual revenue between $2.5M and $250M. Selection criteria includes client quality, buyside targeting, M&A process effectiveness and deal outcome.

According to Axial, “The top 25 investment banks are those that work with the most in-demand clients, balance breadth, selectivity, and accuracy in the buyers they engage, and generate the largest number of positive outcomes for their clients.”

FourBridges has built a reputation for both its financial expertise and skill in getting the best deal for clients, not only in terms of monetary value but factors ranging from succession planning and employee retention to earnouts. Stockett and his team are also well known for their ability to guide business owners through the emotional roller coaster of getting a deal to completion.

To date in 2025, FourBridges Capital Advisors has acted as the exclusive financial advisor for the sale of Durable Products, Inc., Metro Plumbing, Heating and Air, and Tree Worx.
