Why Houlihan Capital
Independent Analysis That Supports Board Oversight and Regulatory Review
Houlihan Capital delivers independent transaction opinions and valuation analyses built on transparent, well-documented methodology, structured to support board deliberation and regulatory scrutiny from the outset.
Independence Through FINRA Membership
Fairness and solvency opinions issued through Houlihan Capital, LLC, member FINRA, reviewed by a Fairness Opinion Committee that includes broker-dealer principals, providing an additional layer of oversight and institutional credibility.
Structural Independence
Houlihan Capital is an employee-owned valuation and investment banking firm. We do not manage assets, provide wealth advisory services, or distribute proprietary investment products, so our analysis is not shaped by products we need to place or positions we need to protect.

Every engagement is led and delivered by senior professionals. Boards and special committees can expect direct access to experienced advisors throughout the engagement.
