HAUPPAUGE, NY--(Marketwire - June 30, 2008) - Intellian Capital Advisors, LLC, a full
service merchant banking
firm, announces the launch of ICA Advisors, LLC, their Advisory
Services division, and the addition of Bernard I. Gartenlaub and Vikram S.
Arneja.
ICA Advisors provides strategic and management advisory services to middle
market companies. The portfolio of services includes merger and acquisition
transactions, divestitures, restructuring, and raising capital through a
variety of vehicles.
The new division will be overseen by Intellian Managing Partner Ron Gray,
along with Bernard I. Gartenlaub, Senior Managing Director of ICA Advisors,
and Vikram S. Arneja, Director of ICA Advisors.
The addition of the Advisory Services division allows Intellian to serve
its clients as a full service boutique investment banking firm. ICA
has the ability to operate independently, providing clients with a wide
range of business consultation services, industry insight and on-site
strategic guidance. If additional capital is required by a client, ICA is
equipped with a well thought-out business strategy that maximizes its
ability to raise capital through its merchant banking division.
"Our goal is to build our brand in Las Vegas, Chicago and London,"
commented Intellian Managing Partner Ron Gray. "I believe with the recent
difficulties in the credit markets, many of our current clients, as well as
prospective clients, will require assistance with the proper packaging of
their companies in order to appeal to potential investors.
"One of the great benefits of working with a boutique investment bank such as
Intellian Capital Advisors," continued Gray, "is that we are completely
unaffected by the complex credit losses that are now hindering the growth
of larger investment banks. We are appropriately positioned to gain market
share, as we have the flexibility to work on a variety of large and small
transactions."
