America's premier middle-market mergers, exits and acquisitions consultants
National Industry Network
America's premier middle-market mergers, exits and acquisitions consultants.
National Industry Network is a division of SEC, founded in 2012 to help owners of established businesses and qualified buyers navigate high-stakes merger, exit and acquisition decisions with greater structure, access and personal guidance.
Selling a business is rarely a transaction and almost never routine. For most owners it happens once, after decades of work, and it carries consequences for staff, customers and family that a spreadsheet doesn't capture.
Our acquisition consultants coordinate the relationships, information and next steps that move opportunities forward — while recognising that every business, every buyer, every seller and every desired outcome is different. That's why disclosure here is a decision a person makes, not a rule a system applies.
The NIN ecosystem
What we bring together.
Established businesses
Substantial operating history, scale and real market presence — not startups or concepts.
Qualified buyer network
An extensive and continually growing network of buyers and investors, verified before they are introduced.
Acquisition consultants
One person coordinating each opportunity end to end, rather than a handoff between departments.
Structured confidentiality
Controlled disclosure for owners, and a clear picture of where you stand for buyers.
Relationship-driven approach
Focused on fit, communication and forward movement rather than volume.
Our focus
Established businesses valued at $10M+.
Concentrating on lower-middle-market companies means sellers reach buyers genuinely capable of closing, and buyers see substantial businesses rather than a long tail of opportunities that waste their time.
