COMPANY OVERVIEW
Growth Capital Services is a registered broker-dealer specializing in private securities. Our representatives work on institutional placement agent assignments, M&A advisory, late stage direct company capital raises, and late stage secondary opportunities.
Our back office systems were developed by brokers for brokers, using a proprietary data management system that enables appropriate supervision, operational efficiency, and 24 hour access. Our goal is to provide all parties with the information they need, allowing a smooth progression in our transactions from the pre-marketing phase to the close. We make it easy for you to focus on deals while we run the compliance functions.
While navigating the world of private securities can be unnervingly opaque, our team is here to help. Our goal is to offer solutions, not obstacles: effective guidance in getting the job done right.
