Corporate Finance Associates, an international investment banking services firm providing merger, acquisition, and financial advisory services, is pleased to announce that it was the exclusive advisor to Certified Companies on its sale to Capital Point Partners. Certified Companies, Inc., based in Houston, Texas is a well-known and respected firm providing temporary, temp to hire, and direct hire staffing solutions in the region. Founded in 1974, Certified Companies initially provided staffing services for the petro-chemical industry, but quickly grew to also serve the local shipping channel. With a solid reputation for customer service and skilled talent, today the company provides staffing services for clerical, construction, and light industrial clients.
Capital Point Partners, located in Houston, Texas, is a private equity firm that specializes in both mezzanine lending and mergers and acquisitions. They quickly understood the benefits a company like Certified would bring to reaching their long term growth goals.
"It was a pleasure working with the Certified and Capital Point teams. It is always personally satisfying to see two companies' goals align and that the opportunities for growth and collaboration are so immediately evident" said Brad Lindsay, Managing Director of CFA MidSouth, lead advisor in the transaction.
