Middle market investment bank ACT Capital Advisors is announcing the establishment of the Seafood Enterprise Valuation Practice.

This strategic initiative is set to deliver expert business valuations for participants across the seafood sector, including harvesting (wild caught and aquaculture), processing (primary and value-added), distribution and retail segments.

The practice will be led by industry veterans Matthew Latimer and Brad Bodenman, who bring extensive experience and a deep understanding of the seafood industry. Their leadership will ensure that clients receive accurate, custom-tailored valuations that are essential for M&A activity, raising capital, or fulfilling other strategic business needs.

"We are excited to bring our specialized knowledge and expertise to the seafood industry through this service line," said Latimer. "Properly valuing assets is crucial for anyone looking to sell or buy a business or raise capital. Our focus will be on delivering credible valuations to help our clients achieve their strategic objectives."

Bodenman said, "The seafood industry presents unique challenges and opportunities. Our practice provides custom-tailored valuation services designed to meet the specific needs of this dynamic industry. We look forward to assisting industry stakeholders in navigating their business endeavors with greater clarity and confidence."

Bob Hild, CEO of ACT Capital Advisors, said, "I wholeheartedly support this initiative, which underscores our commitment to serving niche markets with specialized service offerings. With Latimer and Bodenman at the helm, I am confident that our Seafood Enterprise Valuation Practice will become a valuable resource for seafood businesses looking to leverage their business potential."
