Testimonials

“These guys at Acquisition Advisors get it. We are an equity provider that wants to invest in growing and profitable private companies. We don’t want to run them, but we do work closely with management to provide strategic and operational advice to support a company’s growth. We believe that building a partnership with the management team is a key to success. Every investment we make is structured to give management some equity ownership so that together we all share in the success. Acquisition Advisors introduced us to an aerospace company in which Hastings made an investment that matched our strategy and enabled the company’s owner to achieve his objectives. It was a win-win-all-around deal. We couldn’t have done it without Acquisition Advisors.”

“David Perkins, managing director of Acquisition Advisors, represented the selling owners of a business that I took a significant ownership interest in in 1997. I provided the equity that supported the key manager’s buyout. It worked perfectly. Then, in 2008, I decided to sell my equity stake and hired Acquisition Advisors to represent me. They worked their proven and effective process with precision. I was bought out, a new equity provider provided the funds, and the longtime managers made some good money and also upped their ownership interest. It was a win-win-win for everyone, and I feel very confident that I received top dollar (we selected from about 25 offers/buyers). I cannot recommend Acquisition Advisors more highly.”

“I first met David Perkins in the 1990s. I ran a nice business but had no ownership. One day, I learned that the owner wished to sell. It created a lot of uncertainty for me, to say the least. But I soon found that David Perkins’ strategy for maximizing value for the seller was one that entailed including the non-owner manager(s). Moreover, he convinced my boss and me that he could maximize value for the seller and secure me as the manager and negotiate a deal to get me some ownership without it costing me anything. It sounded too good to be true but, lo and behold, it came to be. That was ten years ago now and I still manage this business. My ownership percentage has grown, thanks to additional work provided by Acquisition Advisors. I can’t recommend them enough.”

“Acquisition Advisors introduced us to the opportunity to buy out the owner of a tremendous industrial company with 250 employees. We bought out the owners, allowed them to have their payday, and also retained the management team, who now have a material ownership interest. It was a win-win-win for everyone and it’s working great.”

“We bought out the owner of an industrial company, retained the existing management, and worked out a deal to maximize the equity ownership of those key managers. Acquisition Advisors represented the seller, introduced us to the opportunity, and its deal we are very happy with. We don’t want to run companies. We just want to gain ownership in them alongside talented and tenured managers.”

“Through the talent and good work of Acquisition Advisors, I was able to secure ownership interest in the business that I manage. The sellers received top value and I have an equity partner that is terrific. They provide meaningful support to me in my efforts to grow the business, and we’re making acquisitions. This would not have happened had it not been for the unique approach of Acquisition Advisors.”

“We bought a very nice company via Acquisition Advisors. They represented the seller, but we were happy to find a talented and tenured management team that was willing to remain and was a part of the deal. We wouldn’t have bought without it.”
