TESTIMONIALS - CONSUMER

Harry Singer

Former CEO

EDGE Entertainment Distribution

I have worked with EdgePoint on both “buy-side” and “sell-side” engagements. In both instances, I found them to be strategic thinkers, as well as an excellent negotiators. In the instance of the sell-side transaction, though I am not inexperienced in negotiating transactions, there can be no doubt that their prior experience with large private equity buyers got the deal closed on terms and conditions within the valuation range EdgePoint had calculated. I am not sure we would have been able to close without their guidance and expertise.

John Strobel

Former President & CEO

Central Warehouse Company

“Selling a business is difficult. It is a complex and daunting task. Often the transaction is complicated by intense emotions. This was especially true for me as the 4th generation owner/operator of Central Warehouse Operations, Inc. I needed a partner in this adventure who would take control, focus solely on my best interest and track the thousands of details capably. I needed absolute confidence, complete trust, top flight financial savvy and more than a little emotional support. "

Express Packaging

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.
