Why I Focus On Small & Mid‑Size Business Owners

I come from a long line of entrepreneurs on both sides of the family. Some turned wrenches every day and some turned junk into a great business. Some sold their companies for life-changing money, and others missed their opportunity because of wishful thinking.

My family’s story is uniquely American. I’ve been part of big corporate deals as an investment banker, and those are exciting. But I want to help American business owners maximize the value of the businesses they worked hard to build. I want to help you and your family succeed.

Why WB Exists

Mid-market business owners don’t need a banker (you’re too small), a broker (too transactional), or an accountant (too backward-looking). You need an advisor who understands institutional rigor — valuation methodology, buyer behavior, deal structure — and can apply it at the scale that actually matters to you.

Who We Work With

Founders and second-generation owners of profitable businesses ($5–20M revenue) in industrial and specialty sectors: equipment, machinery, building products, distribution, specialty materials, logistics, packaging. Companies that actually make something, move something, or keep something running. Owners who’ve stopped saying “someday” and started saying “soon.”

What You Get From Us

Straight answers, every time. Real numbers based on how buyers actually price businesses. A buyer list that’s been thought about — not handed to you at the last minute. Plain English, no banker jargon. An advisor whose incentive is your outcome. If your business isn’t ready, we’ll tell you. If it is, you’ll know exactly what to expect — start to finish.

Credentials

Before founding WB Capital Advisory, Kyle worked in institutional M&A, assisting on transactions up to $500 million, using the same playbook top-tier banks run on billion-dollar deals. That work covered valuation, financial modeling, and live deal execution across industrials, healthcare, and logistics.

The same rigor. Applied at a scale that actually matters to a business like yours.
