Since 1998 Redlin & Associates have provided valuation of inventories and businesses. We have clients from coast to coast. We help companies in succession planning and operate as an advisor to those who want to sell their business. We are not brokers. We prepare a company for sale.

We work with realtors, banks, attorneys and business brokers. Our expertise is in the arena of horticulture.
