Read what a few of our clients say about us:


Grover Rutter has represented our companies in a number of transactions, acquisitions, spin-offs and sales of business interests, most recently the sale of a specialty fabrication company. Whenever we have sold a company, we have called and relied on Grover for his expertise. In one example, when we sold a tank transportation business, Grover’s structuring strategies on closing saved us in excess of $ 250,000 more in taxes than what our CPA firm thought was possible. We believe that anyone wanting to buy or sell a business would be well-served by Mr. Rutter. Rick D.

I would like to thank you once again for all your expert advice and guidance during the sale of my business. You are aware of my previous efforts to handle a potential buyer before we met. It was a long, drawn out process that involved many hours, months, expensive attorney fees and ultimately failure. With your help we had a buyer within 6 months and a signed bill of sale 6 weeks later. I highly recommend your services. Jill M.

The valuation you provided us was thorough and comprehensive. The financial statistics that you presented were critical in determining the fair market value of our business. It was so reassuring to know that you were there to screen the buyers so that we weren’t overwhelmed with the “lookers” and tire kickers. This really eased our minds about any of the competitors who may be out “snooping around”. We really appreciated the fact that all buyers had to be financially qualified before any confidential information about the business was disclosed. I would recommend Grover to anyone wanting to sell their business. Jim S.

I would recommend Grover as a representative for any interest of my company. I believe his professionalism and past track record speak for themselves. Jeff B.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank you, personally for your service oriented and professional approach to selling our business. As you know, we had attempted to market it ourselves and never were able to put forth the effort to do the outstanding job your company did for us. It was obvious from the onset that your firm brought many intangible assets to the table. Paul N.

Grover’s service was invaluable to us. We had been looking for the right opportunity for several years, and Grover finally made our dream become a reality. His easy-going and professional manner, along with his assistance with referring us with to a very talented loan officer, attorney and accountant, made this an exceptionally smooth process. Without Grover and his staff’s assistance, I believe that we’d still be looking for a business. His staff is equally helpful and friendly. Jon S.

Grover and team facilitated the process very well. Your relation ships with Banks and Financing options helped immensely! Excellent communication and follow through. Grover is excellent at understanding what a seller needs to have to get a sale done as well as understand a buyers needs. Jeff B.

Bottom line… Grover Rutter Mergers & Acquistiions got it done for us! Daniel L.
