Modern M&A advisory, built for the lower middle market.
Torchline Advisors was founded on a simple idea: the rigor of an investment bank, applied to the businesses that actually built America.
Announcement
Baton Strategies is now Torchline Advisors
We’ve changed our name to Torchline Advisors — a new name and identity for the same firm, the same advisors, and the same standard of work. Torchline Advisors was formerly Baton Strategies; nothing about our team, leadership, or process has changed.
All existing deals, engagements, listings, referral relationships, and partnerships continue exactly as previously agreed. Signed agreements, NDAs, and data-room access remain fully in force under the Torchline Advisors name, and your advisor contacts are unchanged.
Our story
For decades, owners of $1M–$50M businesses have been underserved. Bulge-bracket banks won’t take their calls. Local brokers lack the buyer relationships. Torchline Advisors was built to close that gap — pairing senior advisors with modern, data-driven tools and a truly national buyer network.
We’re selective about the engagements we take. Every client gets a senior advisor as primary contact, a custom buyer strategy, and a process designed to create competitive tension and maximize value.
