Intellian Capital Advisors Launches Advisory Services Division, ICA Advisors, LLC


HAUPPAUGE, NY--(Marketwire - June 30, 2008) - Intellian Capital Advisors, LLC, a full service merchant banking firm, announces the launch of ICA Advisors, LLC, their Advisory Services division, and the addition of Bernard I. Gartenlaub and Vikram S. Arneja.

ICA Advisors provides strategic and management advisory services to middle market companies. The portfolio of services includes merger and acquisition transactions, divestitures, restructuring, and raising capital through a variety of vehicles.

The new division will be overseen by Intellian Managing Partner Ron Gray, along with Bernard I. Gartenlaub, Senior Managing Director of ICA Advisors, and Vikram S. Arneja, Director of ICA Advisors.

The addition of the Advisory Services division allows Intellian to serve its clients as a full service boutique investment banking firm. ICA has the ability to operate independently, providing clients with a wide range of business consultation services, industry insight and on-site strategic guidance. If additional capital is required by a client, ICA is equipped with a well thought-out business strategy that maximizes its ability to raise capital through its merchant banking division.

"Our goal is to build our brand in Las Vegas, Chicago and London," commented Intellian Managing Partner Ron Gray. "I believe with the recent difficulties in the credit markets, many of our current clients, as well as prospective clients, will require assistance with the proper packaging of their companies in order to appeal to potential investors.

"One of the great benefits of working with a boutique investment bank such as Intellian Capital Advisors," continued Gray, "is that we are completely unaffected by the complex credit losses that are now hindering the growth of larger investment banks. We are appropriately positioned to gain market share, as we have the flexibility to work on a variety of large and small transactions."
