Recognition, Reach, and Results: Benchmark International’s Global Momentum
Benchmark International has been named Best Financial Services Firm of the Year 2026 in the United States by GPMG, recognizing the firm’s continued growth, global reach, and commitment to delivering strong outcomes for business owners. Specializing in sell-side M&A, Benchmark International represents privately-held, lower-middle market companies as they navigate complex M&A transactions.
With more than 400 dealmakers and analysts across 15 offices in North America, Europe, and Africa, the firm combines international reach with dedicated sell-side expertise. To date, Benchmark International has advised over $14.2 billion in transaction value and connects clients with a network of more than 400,000 registered buyers worldwide.
That reach continues to grow with new offices in Stockholm and Barcelona, strengthening the firm’s ability to support domestic and cross-border capabilities. At the same time, investments such as the Buyer Portal are also enhancing buyer engagement and helping create more competitive transaction processes.
The past year has also brought milestones beyond the dealmaking process. Benchmark International recently celebrated the first anniversary of its naming-rights partnership with the Tampa Bay Lightning and Benchmark International Arena. At the same time, investments such as the Buyer Portal enable the firm to connect companies with international buyer pools. The result is a genuinely personalized advisory experience, driven by enhanced buyer engagement and a more competitive transaction process. The launch of the Closing Remarks Podcast strengthens the firm’s role as a thought leader by bringing together business owners, M&A professionals, and experts to share insights and perspectives.
Together, these milestones mark the continued momentum behind Benchmark International’s award-winning approach to M&A.
