Following our recent business transaction we feel that this pleasant experience is worth mentioning. Beginning of 2007, we decided to sell our $1,000,000 business in order to pursue our goal of retirement. After going through a disappointing experience and interviewing several business brokers we decided to list our company in June 2007 with "Florida Business Acquisitions, Co." in Tampa, Florida. They took on the complex task of learning about the nature of our operation rapidly and in a highly professional way; their understanding and educated presentation of our business paved the way for the successful acquisition. In Fact, within four weeks we had 25 serious interested buyers and ended up with 2 written offers before the end of the second month after listing. Impressive was how fast and at the same time professional the broker's staff adapted to the sensitive nature of our business market and how clear the negotiations and contract details were put into place by Florida Business Acquisitions, Co. Their highly skilled personnel ensured that the entire transaction ended up being a win-win situation for both, us as the seller as well as for the buyers who successfully purchased our company at the beginning of October 2007. We appreciated the easy and clear communication, the personalized service and the quickly established level of trust. We were also pleasantly surprised how little time we as the business owners had to contribute to get this deal completed since we were very busy running our day-to-day operation and making sure no interruption would occur. Our expectations were fully met.
Sincerely,
Angelika Hodiamont David Yesser President/CEO Vice President/Director
Step 3 - Contact Us Back To Top My experience with Sal and his team was; simply put......painless. After trying to sell my business on my own for 5 months I listed it with Florida Business Acquisitions and we had 2 offers after just 2 months one of whom purchased my business.
Step 3 - Contact Us Back To Top Brad, This is to acknowledge your terrific job in selling our manufacturing business. Your valuation process was thorough. You promoted the company immediately and got 25 inquiries, while showing the business to 4 prospects, and receiving two firm offers. You followed up relentlessly; we closed the sale 2 months after the listing date. The buyer is a very professional operation with which I now have a manufacturers rep agreement. I highly recommend your services to anybody who is selling a business. Thanks. Sincerely, Mark Techler Titan Products Step 3 - Contact Us Back To Top Sal, Just wanted to express my appreciation to you for all your help in selling my business. From the first phone call I received from you on a Saturday after I sent you a request early that morning about selling my business, I have been completely and totally impressed with your service. Not only were you the first broker to contact me on the phone, you were also the first broker to meet with me in person and detail your plan for selling my business. I had talked to other brokers, one the largest in the county, and did not receive the kind of response that I received from you. I think I signed a contract with you at our next meeting. Your use of technology including the Internet, email, converting emails to word documents and always being reachable by phone greatly impressed me, and I'm a real technology nut. Sorry about the numerous weekend calls, but sometimes it was necessary for all of us to communicate at hours outside of normal business hours and you never complained. I think the one trait that impressed me the most about you was your sense of urgency whenever there were any issues developing between the buyer and myself. You always brought the item up and got both parties talking immediately. I have known so many people that don't deal with problems in their business and just think they will go away with non action. The problems never go away, they only get worse. Not only did you deal with any problems between the buyer and me, but also problems between all the lawyers, accountants and other individuals that were involved in the sale of my business. You were responsible for selling my business in a very short period of time and I am now happily trying to adjust to my new life in retirement. I really felt like we became friends during this sale process and just wanted to thank you one more time for getting me started on the best part of my life. If you ever need a reference from an extremely satisfied client, feel free to give out my name and telephone number. Thanks Sal, Jonathan Leonard Duraseal Asphalt & Sealing Step 3 - Contact Us Back To Top Mr. Freeman,
Managing Director Step 3 - Contact Us Back To Top Sal, I want to thank you for all your help in selling my business. When I interviewed you, I made the decision to hire you because I wanted the best. You didn't disappoint me. You took a business that was almost impossible to sell, which needed to be sold in a short amount of time, and you did it for me. You didn't merely list it, you SOLD it. You didn't merely sell it, you were quick in your response, always ethical, and showed an amazing amount of wisdom, common sense, and tact toward all parties concerned. You went above and beyond what was expected of you, and you continued to do so even after the sale was over and your obligation was gone. You made the process as painless as possible, smoothed over the bumps in the road, and made the transition seamless. Not only would I highly recommend you to anyone who is selling their business, but I would also call them foolish for choosing anyone else. Most Sincerely, Step 3 - Contact Us Back To Top Brad, Step 3 - Contact Us Back To Top To whom it may concern, Step 3 - Contact Us Back To Top To Whom it may concern, I just sold my business through Florida Business Acquisitions and it was an extremely positive experience. The business sold within 4 months which exceeded my expectations! Brad Freeman was a pleasure to work with. He is very knowledgeable with the market and his background in accounting was extremely helpful. Brad's reports helped explain to me how he came up with the pricing for the business. It was very fair and right on target. Brad is easy to communicate with and showed lots of patience and understanding during the entire process. I would highly recommend Brad at Florida Business Acquisitions. Sincerely, Jane Sultenfuss Step 3 - Contact Us Back To Top Sal, Step 3 - Contact Us Back To Top Dear Sal, We want to thank you for the great job you did in selling our business (hair salon). Your evalution of the business we believe was a huge asset in its marketability. The extra time you put into making sure our new buyers were able to meet and secure the lease was over and above. Your excessability to us and the new buyers was also a big asset. In all the service you gave was superb. Thank you. Sincerely, Step 3 - Contact Us Back To Top Mr. Urso, I want to thank you for all the hard work and proficiency you put into my acquisition of JP Commercial Cleaning. This deal would have fallen apart many times without your expertise and skills in dealing with the fluid conditions that kept arising after we were in contract. You creatively structured this deal such that the seller and I were both protected no matter what the outcome. I recommend you without reservation to ANYONE selling or buying a business, knowing you will always do the right thing that is in your clients’ best interest. Regards, Step 3 - Contact Us Back To Top Mr. Urso, It is my pleasure to provide a strong letter of recommendation for you and your firm. Our experience with you during the purchase of Lumenair was completely positive in every respect. Your assistance and professionalism was instrumental to the success of our purchase and resulted in a transaction that was truly to the benefit of both parties, buyer and seller. Certainly, you can have any prospective clients contact me to discuss this in more detail. Thank you again for your help. Lee M. Step 3 - Contact Us Back To Top Sal, Hey I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how much I appreciate all the hard work you put into selling my business. You came with a strong recommendation and from the moment I met you I had a good feeling about a business relationship. I appreciate the fact that you are not the type of broker that puts his accounts on the MLS and lets them sit there gathering dust. You were always proactive in disseminating information and creating leads for purchase. I also appreciated all the hard work you did in helping my buyer find a good purchase loan. For the first time I have a broker that actually deserves his commission and I was happy to pay it. Not only did you sell my business in a timely manner but you helped me sell it for the list price. I feel that not only have I found a person I will enjoy doing business with in the future, I feel like I have found a good friend. Have a great day and keep up the awesome work. Respectfully, Step 3 - Contact Us Back To Top Sal, As we look at the calendar, we can't believe it has been a year since you listed and sold our business. It has been a tremendous year for us, and we have you to thank. The way you handled all of the research and negotiations was nothing but professional. We truly appreciated the way you were available at all hours to answer any questions that we had. We wish you nothing but success! We will happily continue to refer new business to you and give references if anyone is interested. Sincerely, Step 3 - Contact Us Back To Top Brad & Sal, Step 3 - Contact Us Back To Top To Whom It May Concern: In January 2006, my wife and I purchased a business in Tampa from sellers who were represented by Sal Urso. We found Sal to be extremely professional, hard-working and dedicated to making sure that we got all of the information and help that we requested. Overall, we had a very good experience in working with Sal and would highly recommend him to other buyers or sellers of businesses. Sincerely, Step 3 - Contact Us Back To Top To Whom It May Concern: We have listed my business with several brokers in as many years. Most of the time the brokers just brought potential buyers and expected me to sell the business. Since we had no experience in this, we lost many potential buyers. Then along came Sal! He came and took all the sales numbers, expenses, P&L statements, tax returns and evaluated the business. He told us what the business was worth based on the numbers. This was impressive alone! We had not seen any broker do this before. The price was what we thought it should be so we listed it with Sal. The work had just begun. Sal had many potential buyers that he screened, so not to waste our time, and he brought qualified buyers to see the business and to have us answer any questions. Sal told us to be ourselves and to be totally honest. We went thru a few lookers and had some strange encounters. Then SAL sold it!!! Sal at all times was honest with everyone. The transaction went smoothly and we are happy customers of Sal's. Thank You, Step 3 - Contact Us Back To Top
