What We Do

Axial (axial.net) operates the largest marketplace on the internet for buying, selling, and financing American small businesses (businesses with $5M-$100M in revenues).

Over 20,000 professional investors, M&A advisors and CEOs use Axial's tools, data, and marketplace to source, manage and execute small business M&A transactions. Axial members have closed over 2,500 deals since 2010, amounting to more than $25 Billion in closed transaction volume.

Market Overview

At the core of the US economy are "lower middle market" businesses - businesses generating $5M to $100M in revenue. In the US alone, there are over 350,000 companies in this size range. These small businesses are neither large enough to go public, nor are they able to attract great advice from national or global investment banks. In addition, the wholesale absence of reliable data on transactions and market participants has made this the most broken underperforming segment of private capital markets.

Axial is transforming the status quo in this capital market, providing companies, their trusted advisors, and their capital partners with high quality purpose-built tools, unique data, and marketplace infrastructure.

Below are the values we subscribe to as a company:

-- Obsess Over Member Trust: Your daily choices reflect your awareness that we facilitate vital life-altering transactions. You take this responsibility seriously and it’s top of mind.

-- Expect and Deliver Excellence: You demonstrate consistency so that your colleagues feel confident partnering and relying on you. You demonstrate a personal commitment to continuous improvement.

-- Communication Matters: You are concise and articulate in your communication, external or internal. You listen well and genuinely.

-- Invent and Simplify: You are open-minded, looking for great new ideas that can elevate and even transform the member experience. You find novel ways to simplify complex status quos.

-- Be an Owner: You think about the long-term effects of your decisions. You invest real time in building relationships with your colleagues.

Why Work With Us

We are a small and tight-knit team (currently 25 employees), and you’ll have the opportunity to have a direct impact on the the company.

At Axial you will also enjoy:

-- Robust medical, dental and vision insurance, paid for by Axial
-- 401k program
-- Unlimited vacation
-- Health & Wellness reimbursement program
-- Pre-tax commuter program
