A Platform for M&A Across Regulated, Relationship-Driven Industries

 

Turk & Co. began as a boutique M&A firm serving the U.S. title insurance space, and evolved into a multi-vertical platform purpose-built for one thing: helping owners of regulated, relationship-driven businesses unlock value.

Today, we operate at the intersection of M&A, strategic advisory, and capital markets — across verticals where complexity, compliance, and trust are mission-critical.

M&A Is the Engine

 

Turk & Co. is, at its core, an M&A platform.

We help business owners navigate exits, raise capital, or reposition for growth. And we guide buyers and investors through fragmented, opaque sectors with confidence and clarity.

From sell-side engagements to recapitalizations and complex restructurings — every engagement starts with a question: how do we create and realize the most value?

Why Our Model Works

 

We’re not generalists. We’re a tightly focused team of industry specialists, investment bankers, operators, and analysts who’ve been in the trenches — and know what moves the needle.

What sets us apart:

- Deep vertical expertise in every sector we serve
- Cross-industry perspective that brings fresh thinking to old problems
- Process discipline that leads to better outcomes — not just faster closes
- True partnership — no outsourced handoffs or generic advice

Howard Turk

From Title Roots to Broader Platform

 

Our firm was founded by Howard Turk, a former real estate attorney and Big Title executive, to serve the needs of independent title agencies. From that niche, we built the leading investment bank for the title and settlement space — closing more title-related transactions than any other independent firm in the U.S.

As our clients' needs expanded, so did we — bringing our model to adjacent verticals where similar dynamics exist.

What's next

 

We believe the future of M&A belongs to platforms that combine:

- Industry depth
- Advisory capability
- Execution expertise

That’s what we’ve built — and continue to evolve.

Whether you're exploring a sale, planning a turnaround, or preparing your company for outside capital, Turk & Co. brings the insight, discretion, and results you need to move forward.

The Title M&A Process

 

It Starts with the Buyer

At Turk & Co., every M&A engagement begins with a fundamental question: who is the right buyer? The answer isn’t always obvious. Beyond price and terms, factors like cultural fit, strategic alignment, and future opportunities for staff often shape the best outcome. Experience matters — and we know what to look for.
