New Brand – established alliance: Independent M&A advisers. Local knowledge. Global connections.
The Alliance of International Corporate Advisors (AICA), our international network, has officially rebranded as CapFive, marking an exciting new chapter for our established global network of independent M&A and corporate finance advisory firms.
Built on decades of trusted relationships and cross-border collaboration, this network brings together experienced local advisers who combine deep market knowledge with international reach. The network supports mid-market businesses, investors and business owners navigating complex transactions, connecting them with the right expertise and relationships across borders.
The transition to CapFive reflects both the evolution of the network and its ambitions for the future. As international transactions become increasingly complex, the value of trusted relationships, local insight and seamless cross-border collaboration has never been greater. The new name and identity provide a stronger, more distinctive global presence, reflecting the network’s commitment to raising the visibility of its member firms, strengthening collaboration and creating greater opportunities for clients.
While the name has changed, the foundations remain the same: independent expertise, senior-level attention, trusted relationships and a shared commitment to delivering results. At the heart of CapFive are its member firms, and this next chapter brings a renewed focus on supporting their growth, raising their international profiles and creating more opportunities to connect, collaborate and win business together.
With a stronger global identity and a shared ambition for the future, CapFive is excited to build on the network’s legacy, strengthen the relationships that make it unique and create even greater value for its members and the clients they serve.
As a member firm, ARTHOS is part of this global community of independent M&A and corporate finance advisers since 2011. The tech M&A projects we advise on typically have a cross-border dimension. Local partners who know their markets, know how to open the right doors and collaborate closely and reliably with colleagues across borders can make all the difference for our clients. This combination of trusted relationships, local market expertise, cross-cultural understanding and international collaboration enables us to guide our clients successfully through complex transaction processes.
