Who we are as investors

Merchant Financial Advisory Services

Through a traditional merchant financial advisory services model, we leverage our relationships in our home markets to find and invest in opportunistic transactions using our own funds or the funds of our investment partners.

Expertise through experience

By maintaining an active advisory business, Hussar & Co. brings the necessary expertise in due diligence, valuation, and deal structuring for the investments made by the capital investment side of the firm.

Discovering unique opprotunities

We use our efforts in client origination for the advisory side of our business as a filter to identify unique investment opportunities. We generally like to work with clients that we also view as a potential investment target for our own capital or the capital we represent.
