What We Do: "The Meridian Effect"
“When we put the right skills and people in place, it is a given that the money will be there – the right people, the right capital, at the right time, that is “the Meridian Effect.” — Keith Turner, President & CEO.
We believe that Merchant Banking should be more than just brokering capital. Our emphasis is on the full spectrum of ongoing business relationships that define an organization, rather than a particular set of financial transactions.
Our approach to Merchant Banking is to fully support our clients by providing comprehensive strategic planning and advisory services. We build a team within the organization that can provide the knowledge and leadership to implement the vision of the company and its owners — and of course arrange the capital necessary to make it all happen.
When necessary we will place our own people, who bring with them decades of entrepreneurial and financial management experience, right into the organization. We provide the means to execute not just give advice to our clients. Then as the company grows and its needs change, our services will change to reflect that growth – always providing the right support and resources at the right time.
In addition to getting a company ready for investment through our network of contacts with financial institutions and investment groups, Meridian can provide financing directly through our affiliation with Trinity Capital. This preferred relationship is a testament to the faith that Meridian has in its abilities to create the right conditions for its clients to prosper. As a result of Meridian’s demonstrated commitment other financial institutions readily add their support as well, ensuring that the client benefits from the deal that is best suited to them.
