We advise the owners of privately held businesses in Central Ohio.
A business advisory firm for families and business owners — counsel and capital for the decisions that shape the future.
When We Can Help
You may be considering selling your business in the next several years. You may need capital to grow or make an acquisition.

Those are the conversations we are here for.

Axel Clavier
Axel learned his trade in Private Equity, where his work centered on valuation, financial analysis and strategy, and the structuring of transactions.
He founded Clavier Capital to bring that same standard of analysis to the business owners of Central and Southern Ohio — the families and proprietors who have built something real, and who deserve counsel of the same caliber that larger enterprises take for granted.
An advisor should be a fixture of the community he serves — someone his clients know by name, see on Sunday, and can call on for the long term.
His aim is not to close a transaction and move on, but to serve as a steady hand in his clients' corner — ordering his work toward their good, and the good of the place they share.
