History

In 1998 Tony Vincent wanted to buy a business, but the information available was insufficient to make a good business decision. He quickly realized that the owners of good smaller middle market companies could benefit from a more professional approach to selling a business.
From this experience, Tony created Alpha Omega Capital Partners in early 1999 to focus on smaller middle market companies. Rather than offering a simplistic – real estate type – listing service that relied on sketchy financial and company information supported by copies of tax returns, which is common to business brokers, he decided to build the professional firm that middle market companies needed and deserved. This new Richmond, VA based firm would offer tenacious service to clients and prepare high quality, in depth offering memorandums that anticipated all the questions that a buyer (like Tony) would ask. This Virginia based firm would also use a robust marketing system that sought out qualified business buyers from throughout the region and the country, and employ seasoned professionals experienced in mergers and acquisitions.
Tony was the first of these seasoned professionals. As the VP of Corporate Acquisitions for American Filtrona, he identified and acquired numerous middle market companies located throughout the world. The next was George Sydnor, who sold his company, James McGraw with locations in Virginia, North Carolina, and Indiana, to a buyout fund and then helped them acquire several other businesses. The next to join the firm was Bob Louthan who merged his firm, Stony Point Capital Partners, with Alpha Omega. Bob participated in numerous business acquisitions through Stony Point and several venture capital firms and investment banks before that. In addition, they also had a very large network of contacts throughout the Southeast that could assist in countless ways whether it be buying a business, selling a business, or other investment banking services. Fred Doster joined the firm in February of 2007 to employ his many years of M&A and financial management experience to manage client projects in Kentucky and surrounding areas.
