what to expect
We know that business owners care about what will happen to their business, their relationships and their people once a new owner takes over.
That’s why it’s important for us to understand the legacy you’ve created and the foundation you’ve built. Knowing this, we can apply our expertise to help fulfill the potential that your legacy and foundation provide.
We often look for company founders who will remain invested, and managers who will become invested, to help fulfill a business’ potential.
We understand that owners have unique objectives and circumstances, so we customize purchase agreements and succession plans with terms that are flexible and right for the situation of each company.
Finally, you can expect that we will work diligently to preserve your legacy and optimize the long-term performance of your business. Our track record of achieving this speaks to our ongoing long-term commitment.
what they say
Selling can feel like giving your identity away. Matt has a very genuine, long term approach that respects the past and builds on that for the future.
I’ve worked here for almost 40 years. The company is still a great place to work
I didn’t know what to expect when our owner sold, everyone really liked (him). In the years since the sale the morale of the company is actually higher, which I didn’t think could happen.
My wife is happy I retired and that she won’t have to run the company if anything happens to me. I still pop in to see how things are going; I’m impressed and happy.
I’ve heard lots of horror stories about selling a business. Our transition went very smoothly.
My people, family & business are in good hands and my legacy is preserved. Matt’s taking the company to the next level and the staff are energized.
For over 30 years I have had the privilege of working with many successful businessmen in a variety of situations and circumstances. Matt repeatedly demonstrated a keen interest in delving into the guts of a business’s operation and grasping the key factors contributing to the success of the particular business. A respect for what the founders of these successful enterprises accomplished is continually demonstrated along with a true desire to understand the legacy wishes of these founders. They’ve consistently cultivated loyalty from existing management teams and subsequently all companies have grown.
Due diligence paired with knowledge, confidence, and experience provided us substantial comfort they could tackle any potential future obstacles. I know with confidence they can acquire a company in any industry and apply the same business principles to create or grow a successful operation.
