I started William E. Oliver Associates in September of 2000 to position privately-held companies for sale, then market, negotiate and complete their sale. While I sell all types of businesses, I have the most experience selling manufacturing, construction and service companies.

I encourage owners to allow Oliver Associates to enhance the value of their company first, and then complete their sale. This allows their company to become the value investment that buyers want in today’s market.

Buyers acknowledge my thorough financial analyses and personal due diligence on my listed company to be a unique approach to selling businesses. Often buyers can make a quick decision on the purchase of the company.

I was employed by Pfizer, Inc. for twenty-two years culminating in the position of director. My experience covered all areas of manufacturing, strategic planning, and business acquisition. As a result, I learned to identify the intangible factors that tell the more complete story of where a business is going. I use this skill to position privately-held companies for sale.

Highlights of my M&A experience include performing due diligence on the purchase of a medical-device R&D company and positioning a medical-device manufacturing company for sale. As owner and founder of Oliver Associates, I am able to apply my Fortune 500 expertise to the sale of manufacturing and service companies where I have personally closed transactions for companies with $185,000 to $15,000,000 in revenue.
