While the service speaks for itself, this is where I’ll let my friends do the talking.

"[Dale's] vast knowledge as a business broker and of commercial real estate proved to be invaluable especially in recommending other professionals needed for the transaction...lawyers, accountants and even navigating an SBA loan."​

  • One and Five-year plans, minimally cover how to grow, future capital and personnel needs and a look at the competitive marketplace

And I’ll help you every step of the way.

No one knows what the future brings. Many circumstances catch a business by surprise such as:

  • Health issues
  • Death
  • Divorce
  • Partnership issues
  • Burn-out
  • Business grows too fast/big
  • No successors
  • Un-planned retirement
  • Many more

There are numerous valuation methodologies and many factors that must be considered. We use a proprietary, multiple methodology valuation system. The results are compared with industry standards, comparable businesses that have been sold and confidential data bases.  Many people have theories about what a business is worth, with Dale, you get the facts! 

Many business owners are so occupied with the operation and marketing of their business that preparing their business for an ultimate sale is neglected. It is always good to have a Succession Plan in place.

A good plan discusses:

  • Is the management team in place with skilled and loyal workforce?
  • Sales growth trends and strength of sales backlog.
  • Company culture and customer loyalty.
  • Balanced customer mix.
  • Strength of the market position.
  • Barriers to market entry.
  • Strong branding in product and services offerings.
  • Up-to-date technology with modern work-flow systems and processes.
  • Solid vendor relationships. 
  • And more…
