Imperial Capital Completes Sale of Integral Consulting to Audax Private Equity
Imperial Capital Group Ltd. has completed the sale of Integral Consulting, an environmental and engineering consulting firm, to Audax Private Equity's Origins strategy. The transaction marks a significant milestone in Imperial Capital’s partnership with Integral since 2022, during which time the company expanded its geographic reach, more than doubled headcount, and invested heavily in leadership and infrastructure. Integral's management team has retained an ownership stake under the new ownership structure. Integral Consulting will continue to be led by CEO Ryan Brain alongside Audax as it enters a new phase of growth. Alex Hatzes from Imperial Capital praised the partnership for its success in building out necessary systems and supporting employee culture, while Brain expressed gratitude toward Imperial's support throughout their journey. Lincoln International served as financial advisor, with Torys LLP advising Imperial and Ropes & Gray representing Audax. Imperial Capital remains active in lower mid-market private equity investments across North America, managing over $3.5 billion AUM as of March 2026.
