Testimonials

When we asked VR to sell our premium promotions business, we told them that we wanted to do it quickly. After valuing the business and explaining the terms under which we could expect it to be sold, they prepared the business review and immediately began confidentially marketing it to their internal buyer database. Within weeks, we had several interested parties and quickly narrowed it down to one buyer. The deal was closed shortly thereafter. VR helped us through the entire process and was key to making the transaction happen. We’d recommend their services to any owner.

I was professionally represented on many tours of my facility, and VR responded to all buyers' requests for information and data in a timely, thorough manner. When an acceptable offer resulted, VR made sure that the sale was negotiated well on my behalf, and coordinated the many due diligence requirements so that we were able to proceed to closing in an expeditious manner.

VR Business Sales of New Haven recently represented me in the sale of my business which consisted of nine routes and ten trucks for FedEx Ground. VR brought several qualified potential buyers to the table and we ended up with two competing buyers which resulted in a sale higher than our asking price!

The sale of our business was fairly complex mainly because of the demands of the bank that funded the acquisition for the buyer through an SBA guaranteed loan that involved many levels of security all of which had to be negotiated with the buyer.

Also, Al’s background as a former business owner enabled him to give advice as to how we should present our financial statements to show the true value of the firm which in the end yielded a selling price that we were very satisfied with. We were very happy with the entire experience with VR.
