ABOUT
Navitant | Navigating The Future
It's estimated that there are more than 30 million small businesses in the U.S. Unfortunately about 20% fail in the first year and 50% fail within five years. We founded Navitant with the vision to help these businesses grow - - and not fail.
​
We are a boutique growth firm focused on helping small and medium businesses thrive. We are not investment bankers or business brokers, we are advisers who partner with owners and management.
Our philosophy is to offer the best consultation and advice to our customers by employing collaboration and innovation in a discrete and confidential manner.
​
Whether your company needs to add human capital, geographically expand, consider inorganic growth, or think through succession planning, we can help. We have a unique group of individuals with the experience to assess your situation and build a plan to navigate the future. ​
