Globalscope Announces Record $20.8 Billion in Global M&A Network Transactions
J. Sloan & Co. Rebrands as Sloan Capital to Mark Growth
DALLAS—March 16, 2023—John R. Sloan, CEO of Dallas-based M&A firm J. Sloan & Co. and president of Globalscope Partners Ltd., today announced that Globalscope achieved a record year in 2022, closing 203 deals worldwide with a combined value of $20.8 billion USD. It is the highest transaction tally in the global M&A network’s 35-year history.
Globalscope’s 55 independent, middle-market M&A-focused investment banks operate in 48 countries worldwide and consist of more than 400 highly talented investment bankers.
“Globalscope’s 2022 results reflect the ongoing growth and expansion of the organization itself and validated the need for a worldwide network of specialist who handle international M&A deals for middle market businesses,” said Sloan, whose company is a member of Globalscope. “Transactions came from a wide range of countries and diverse business categories. Life Sciences and Consumer proved to be the highest performing sectors, with Industrials also performing well.”
According to Sloan, the network’s success also meant growth for his company, which is rebranding as Sloan Capital, LLC.
“We have enjoyed recent success managing and closing both buy-side and sell-side transactions, and we felt a name change was appropriate at this time,” he said. Sloan Capital specializes in representing the owners of privately held businesses in M&A transactions in the middle market.
Founded by Sloan in 2020, the firm recently represented QX Global Group of London, in its acquisition of U.S.-based Chazey Partners. The transaction was co-managed with Globalscope’s London based member firm, Corbett Keeling. Sloan said, “this was a wonderful example of two Globalscope firms working together to achieve an excellent result for our client.”
The firm also represented Peninsula Funds and Ridge Capital in the sale of Texas-based Pumps and Controls. “Peninsula Funds has been a long-term relationship of ours, and it was a pleasure to represent them and Ridge Capital in the successful sale of their portfolio company,” said Sloan.
He added that with Sloan Capital’s industry expertise and worldwide reach through Globalscope, “our goal is to give middle-market companies access to a level of M&A expertise that has historically been out of their reach.”
