Broker Biography
Introduction
As a small business owner in the service related sector for over 25+ years with over 40 employees, and a heavily transactional company, with rapidly changing technology, I understand all the challenges and rewards that a business owner encounters every day. Having dealt with the economic downturn in 2008, and having to lay off over 80% of my staff, and renegotiate every customer contract, I was able to significantly increase margins, and EBITDA, and ultimately sell the business to a strategic partner. Since that time, I have worked with many owners on facilitating the sale of their business and successfully managing the deal from start to finish. I strive to sell the business for the best possible price in the shortest reasonable timeframe while minimizing risk and stress for the owner. We are a boutique agency, that work directly with every seller we work for. Selling a business is one of the most important financial decisions you will ever make and having the right advisor makes the difference. I bring deep knowledge of the business sales process from valuation to closing. Everything we do is based on complete confidentiality throughout the process. I don't just list businesses, I sell them. My goal is simple to help you exit successfully with confidence and maximize value.
