Operator-led advisory, supported by AI-assisted market intelligence, screening and independent cross-checking.

Built by an operator. For operators.

Value is built from financials, operating systems, market position and disciplined execution — not wishful pricing.

Axis Impact Group is an M&A advisory practice serving owner-operated and lower-middle-market businesses, typically $2M–$20M in revenue, with specialty depth in environmental and industrial services — waste and recycling, used oil and fuel distribution, industrial and wastewater services, and remediation — along with construction and trades, manufacturing, wholesale and distribution, and transportation and logistics.

Founder Alex (“Ax”) Sellers brings firsthand operating experience across business brokerage, oil and gas, environmental projects, industrial wastewater, waste-to-energy and food manufacturing. His systems-driven approach to deal sourcing dates to the late 1990s, when market intelligence meant building the map by hand. Today, better data and AI-assisted tools extend that same discipline across a much larger field, supported by continuing professional development in agentic AI through Harvard Online and Harvard Data Science Review programs — while judgment, relationships and accountability remain human.

HOW WE USE AI

AI expands what we can see. Experience determines what it means.

AXIS uses AI-assisted research and analytical tools to broaden market coverage, accelerate diligence and challenge assumptions. The technology supports the process; judgment, relationships and accountability remain human.

Market Intelligence Sweeps

Screen larger listed markets against acquisition criteria quickly and consistently.

Off-Market Origination

Use public records, license rolls, registries and other data sources to identify businesses that may never be formally listed.

Screening & Valuation Prep

Compare financial and operating information, normalize inputs and flag inconsistencies before valuable time is committed.

Independent Cross-Checking

Use multiple analytical models to challenge conclusions, test assumptions and reduce blind spots before decisions are made.
