Unlike most firms Woodbridge Group began as a buy-side firm to service the "Golden Parachuted Executives” who were being laid off in droves in the early 90’s.
Woodbridge Group was an early user of DOS files from Dun & Bradstreet to cold call business owners on behalf of the client. Woodbridge’s goal was to put the executive back in the industry they knew with a company they owned.
Woodbridge was among the first M&A firms on the Internet with a web site in 1997.

In 2000, Woodbridge was the first M&A firm to appear in the top 3 rankings of search engine results for relevant keywords.
In 2002, Woodbridge began its calling program which places follow-up calls behind all mailings.
In 2005, Woodbridge identified the 125 steps of its unique sell-side process for bringing companies to market.
In 2007, Woodbridge's proprietary database of private equity firms reached 2,000 entries.
Woodbridge has developed multiple national referral programs in the last 3 years.

Woodbridge Group is an innovative mergers and acquisitions (M&A) advisory firm focused on lower-middle market companies. We provide sell-side and buy-side advisory services to companies across a broad range of industries, managing deals with a transaction value of $5 million-$50 million. Woodbridge was founded in 1993 by Robert Koenig, shortly after he sold his former company - a $100 million manufacturer and distributor.

Throughout the 1990's, the company completed transactions in a range of industries, serving nearly every type of enterprise: retailers, manufacturers, service providers and distributors.

In 2004, the company pioneered the use of video marketing in the mergers and acquisitions industry. Woodbridge integrated video presentations into its sell-side process - a highly successful marketing component that has benefited clients and distinguished Woodbridge from other M&A firms. At this time, the firm also embarked on an accelerated growth plan to become a nationally recognized firm servicing the lower middle-market.

The Company opened its New Jersey office in 2005. Expansion continued in 2006 with the launching of the firm's European office in the Netherlands, allowing Woodbridge to market its clients in Europe and the U.S. simultaneously. Also, in 2006, Woodbridge formed a wholly owned subsidiary, W G Securites, LLC which is a registered broker dealer, Member FINRA-SIPC.

In 2007, the firm was engaged by two Asian-based companies, beginning Woodbridge's ongoing reach into Asia. Select Woodbridge clients can now be marketed to buyers or sellers in India, China and Japan.

In 2008, Woodbridge closed its first deal in China and rolled out its Financing Services program to provide a range of capital formation services to middle-market companies. The firm also opened offices in California, Boston, Sao Paulo, Brazil, and one in the heart of midtown Manhattan. In addition, Woodbridge added nine seasoned dealmakers to significantly expand its capacity to serve clients across the country - and the globe.

The firm opened four new regional offices in 2009: Dallas, Chicago, Toronto and Washington, D.C.

Woodbridge continues to refine its innovative marketing approach to completing successful transactions in the lower middle-market. The company enjoys an impeccable reputation for integrity, creativity and persistence in delivering results to clients.

WG Securities, LLC, a subsidiary of Woodbridge Group, LLC., is a registered broker-dealer.
