ACQUISITION SERVICES GROUP CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

              “ I was concerned about hiring a broker to represent my business because I did not want to pay up front fees and then not get the results I was anticipating. However, ASG charges only success fees, meaning you pay for a successful transaction, and I was very pleased not to pay up front fees and put myself in a risky situation. Also, I loved that your representation agreement spelled out all of the value added services we would receive as part of your representation of our business. The tax savings and increased price our company realized as a result of ASG's representation ended up being 10 times more than ASG's success fee, and we were incredibly pleased with the results of this transaction and have subsequently referred ASG's amazing services to other people.”

             “A competitor on the East Coast spontaneously offered to buy our company and although we had not considered selling the thought became more and more appealing and finally we decided it was a great idea. The board of directors and owner of our company were about to go through with the deal when a letter arrived in the mail from ASG advertising one of its seminars. We thought the seminar would be a great idea since we were about to sell our business and wanted to do it the right way. After the seminar we decided to go with ASG to represent our company and ultimately more potential buyers were found and the final selling price was settled at $4 million, approximately twice our original competitor's offer. As a result, we were very pleased with ASG's services and the results.”

             “The time came for us to sell our business and the business represented approximately 80% of our net worth so we were concerned about selling the business for the best price possible. We really had no idea how to go about selling a business not to mention what we needed to look out for. Regardless, we decided to sell the business ourselves anyway. That was not the best choice because once we found a potential buyer we entered a 13 month ordeal where the buyer seemed to have more control of the situation than we did. Each month we were strung along and finally our employees learned of the pending sale. A lot of time was wasted not to mention the money wasted on additional accounting and legal fees. After 13 months of wasted time and money the buyer decided not to purchase our business. We needed help to sell our business and contacted ASG, although we were worried they might not represent us as our business was valued below $1 million. ASG did decide to take us on and we let them get to work. Four months later we had a high priced completed sales transaction and it was completed with total confidentiality. We wish we would have had ASG represent us to start with because that was the best and fastest way to sell a business. We just want to say thank you ASG for your hard work and making the sale of our business fast and profitable. You are more than welcome to use this letter so others know what a great job you do and we just say want to say ‘thanks'.”

             “In 1995 I bought a business that was represented by ASG. Then, I grew the business for 5 years and in 2000 decided to sell because I was worried about the boom of the dot.com s and what would happen. So, having experienced ASG from a buyer's standpoint and knowing what a great job they did I decided to have them represent the sale of my business without a second thought. I was hoping for a sale of at least $1.5 million, and would have been pleased with that number as I had purchased the company for more than $400,000 five years earlier. The valuation came in between $1.4 million and perhaps $2 million if the right buyer could be found. I was hopeful, but never imagined that I would end up with a final sales transaction valued at more than $2.2 million. This was a direct result of you pursuing buyers overseas and never putting a price on my business. As a result, my business sold for significantly more than I ever imagined. I will never sell another business without ASG representing me. I have over 30 years of management experience and have never seen another M&A firm that has the negotiation skills, insight, and knowledge that ASG has. They are the best in the business.”
