​​Mission Driven Business Advisory Specialized In
Federal Government Contracting
​
We help small and middle-market government contractors prepare for a successful exit or grow through acquisition while navigating the unique complexities of GovCon Merger & Acquisition
The GovCon M&A Challenge
Buying or selling a government contracting business isn’t the same as a commercial transaction. Contract vehicles, funding profiles, small business rules, customer consent, and regulatory risk all shape value and can derail a deal if they’re not handled correctly.
​
We work exclusively in GovCon. That focus allows us to anticipate issues before they become problems and guide clients through the process with clarity, discipline, and realism.
Our Solution
We partner with government contracting owners to help them prepare, grow, and realize value. From early planning and compliance considerations through diligence, valuation, contract novations, and closing, we guide founders through the full GovCon M&A journey with clarity and confidence.
WHO WE ARE
Founded by a former GovCon operator and dealmaker to bring institutional-quality M&A advisory to small and middle-market government contractors.
​
STS Advisors is a mission-driven GovCon M&A and business advisory firm founded by Cliff Ingari after a career spent building, acquiring, and selling companies in the military simulation, training, and government contracting market.
​
Led by former military professionals, our team brings decades of hands-on GovCon experience and a deep understanding of what it takes to grow, scale, and exit in a highly regulated environment. We were created to bring institutional-quality M&A advisory and strategic guidance to small and middle-market government contractors that are often underserved by traditional firms.
​
Our approach is grounded in real transaction experience—as buyers, sellers, and advisors. We help owners and management teams prepare for growth through acquisition, navigate complex transactions, and execute successful liquidity events with clarity, discipline, and confidence.
WHAT WE DO
STS Advisors provides end-to-end M&A and strategic advisory services to small and middle-market government contractors. We work with owners and management teams across the full transaction lifecycle—helping clients evaluate growth through acquisition, prepare for liquidity events, and execute complex GovCon transactions with confidence.
​
Our work spans sell-side and buy-side advisory, long-term growth planning, and transaction readiness. Whether a client is actively pursuing an acquisition, preparing for an eventual exit, or positioning the business for future opportunities, we bring a practical, GovCon-focused approach grounded in real transaction experience.

Transaction Readiness
We help owners prepare, position, and execute a sale that reflects the true value of their business. From readiness and valuation to buyer outreach, diligence, and closing, we stay hands-on through the entire process.
Not every engagement starts with a transaction. We help clients evaluate organic growth versus acquisition, assess timing, and build a roadmap toward scale or exit.
For companies pursuing growth through acquisition (GTA), we identify targets, evaluate risk, support diligence, and help structure transactions that align with long-term strategy.
We work with management teams to prepare financials, contracts, and operational data so they are ready when the right opportunity—or buyer—emerges.
