The American Dream is alive and well. It’s a multi-generation manufacturing company in Long Beach making the commercial products most people never think twice about. It’s an Inland Empire services platform a scrappy founder built from one truck into a regional operation that employs forty families. It’s a Texas-based industrial group, and the homegrown professional services team that keeps the region’s businesses compliant, connected, and growing.
Somewhere right now, a founder is negotiating with a buyer who treats M&A as a core corporate strategy. For the founder who built something real, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime event. The gap in preparation is immense.
Richmond Partners exists to level that table. One advisor who understands the moves buyers make — and who fights for what you built like it’s the only deal that matters.
- Market focus
Where we work.
Headquartered in Southern California, we work with founders from the Pacific to the Atlantic, with a practice anchored in the Sun Belt.
Geography is not a constraint. If the business is right and the fit is there, we’re there.
- Our founder
Alan Z. Radegan
I’ve sat on just about every side of the table — having operated as a principal, venture investor, and a former corporate lawyer. (And yes, along the way, I’ve even installed my share of foam insulation.)
Richmond Partners as a dedicated advisory firm grew out of the clear reality that the the founders building durable, real-economy businesses and private market businesses deserve the same caliber of execution that commands billion-dollar transactions. I cut my teeth in the deal trenches representing private equity funds and public companies in M&A transactions across manufacturing, technology, services, aerospace, healthcare, CPG, and more — ranging from the lower middle market to multibillion-dollar deals.
I champion this ecosystem — the companies, the founders, the deals. My mission is to be in the room making sure the final outcome reflects everything that was built to get there.

What you’re getting when you engage us.
When you engage Richmond Partners, you get one dedicated advisor — fully committed, senior-led, and fighting for the outcome this moment deserves. A partner who knows your business, believes in what you built, and will still be in the room on the day it closes.
The founders growing American businesses deserve the best advisor in the room. That’s what I set out to build — and it’s what I show up to do every day.
