TESTIMONIALS - BUSINESS SERVICES

Tom Arko

President

Eighth Day Sound

I could not be more pleased with the services of Edgepoint. The team worked with us through a long and difficult process with an initial buyer, managing the process and working with my staff side-by-side. Most importantly, they instilled in us the confidence that great alternatives were available if at any point we didn’t feel it was the right candidate. We didn’t! Edgepoint negotiated and closed an even better deal in less time than we spent negotiating with the initial party.

Mike Vasco

Owner

Edko LLC

“I did a major amount of due diligence before making my decision to use EdgePoint to sell my business. My instincts told me that EdgePoint was my team, and my instincts could not have been more correct. My management team totally trusted EdgePoint’s leadership throughout the process. They served as accountants, attorneys, coaches, psychologists and more, guiding our team with meticulous care through a maze of minefields from kickoff to closing day.”

Ryan Hernberg

President

Nationwide Property & Appraisal Services

From the start EdgePoint was upfront, honest, and knowledgeable. It was also because of these traits that we seemed like family throughout the process. We told EdgePoint exactly what we were looking for in a partner and they delivered! Being there for us day and night and weekends too was not only impressive but crucial. EdgePoint took the time and really cared about the outcome of the process whether it was to their benefit or not.

Owner and Former President

EdgePoint exceeded our highest expectations at developing a marketing plan for the sale of our business. They had a response well in excess of the number of offers I anticipated, and at higher values. The team at EdgePoint was very professional and thorough in the way they provided coaching in the process of prospective buyer interviews and due diligence. We would not hesitate to recommend them or use them in another transaction.

Michael Lipscomb

President & CEO

SIFCO Industries (NYSE: SIF)

“EdgePoint was the right choice for our divestiture. They gave us small firm attention and big firm results. They brought to the table a synergistic UK buyer that is the perfect fit for our industrial equipment, supplies and service business, and then they got the job done.”

Tim Eippert

President

MC Sign Company

I did not fully realize the time commitment necessary to complete a transaction. The EdgePoint team enabled me and my key managers to remain focused on effectively operating the business, while guiding us through the marketing and due diligence process. Their skillful and strategic negotiations were instrumental in ultimately identifying and closing the our deal with a partner that best fit our goals and objectives.

Brian King

President & CEO

Kenway Consulting

"Working with EdgePoint was an incredibly positive experience. They flattened the learning curve with their experience and wisdom. They inserted themselves where possible to take work off my plate. And they handled my emotions with the right combination of patience, tough love and empathy. I wholeheartedly endorse their services to business owners considering their exit options."

Louis Perry

Former President

The Louis Perry Group

EdgePoint did an outstanding job for me. My parameters for a buyer were very specific and EdgePoint was able to work within those constraints to identify and negotiate a transaction that was economically compelling to me and that preserved the emphasis I built on customer service and the creation of long-term opportunities for my employees. We are most pleased with their service.
