Inspired by Atlanta’s growth story and delighted by the city’s potential, Sapling Financial Consultants opened a satellite office in Atlanta in 2025, and it is looking forward to growing its footprint in the city’s dynamic market landscape.

The city has shown a very high growth in the past decade, in both population and investments. Georgia is an emerging corridor for PE investments, shaped by new capital flows and add-ons growth, ranking in the top 10 US states by deal flow. Moreover, it is on the cusp of a retirement wave, with many business owners looking for an exit strategy that PE firms can provide. The growth of the city is reflected in the growth of its local PE champions, as detailed in Sapling Financial Consultants’ report on Atlanta’s Expanding Private Equity Ecosystem, “Looking PEachy”.

Key takeaways:

  • Atlanta has over 50 private equity firms and 38 investment banks.

  • Some of the key private equity industries to watch for PE investments are datacenters, fintech, and real estate.

  • There are over 78,000 of businesses in Georgia that are ready to change hands in the next decade and PE could be the main buyer
