Personal Testimonials

I’m very pleased with how Tom MacPherson represented my partner and me in the recent sale of our business. While these have been difficult economic times, Tom didn’t try to convince us to lower our price just to sell the business. He helped explain what we needed to do in order to bring the valuation of our business up to our desired selling price. And since outside financing has been so difficult in the past few years, Tom explained how some creative financing techniques would probably have to be applied to achieve our target valuation. While it took two years to sell the business, Tom spent a lot of time communicating with many potential buyers without interrupting our daily work schedule. This was possible only because of all the upfront research and document gathering Tom did when we first hired him for this engagement. And he kept us informed every week or do, regarding the latest developments with the potential buyers – even when there was nothing positive to report. And, most importantly, my partner and I are very happy with the deal Tom negotiated for (and with) us – so we have a real chance to realize a higher price than we originally wanted. I would recommend Tom to help anyone sell their business.

Tom MacPherson obtained an excellent buyer for our business during these challenging economic times. Although it took two years to sell our service business, I appreciate that Tom gave us periodic updates on buyer interest every month or so, told us what we needed to do in order to get the price we wanted, guided us through the selling process to eliminate surprises or disappointments, and kept our intentions confidential. And somehow, he managed to bridge the price-expectation gaps of the buyer and my partner and me. I know that was especially challenging, because my partner and I are over 10 years apart in age – with different financial and work goals. However, we are very happy with the deal structure that Tom ultimately crafted, with cash at closing, modest seller notes, and an earn-out that could well provide a higher ultimate price than we originally sought. I would sincerely recommend Tom MacPherson to anyone who wants to sell their business.

I highly recommend Tom if you want a high-integrity person to help you through either buying or selling a business.

Tom: I just wanted to let you know how much Ed and I appreciated your assistance in selling Pump It Up. It is such a major undertaking selling a business. You always kept us informed and made the entire process manageable. Mostly, we appreciated your efforts with the financing for the buyer. Without that, the entire the deal would have certainly been compromised. You were a wonderful liaison between the buyer, bank and us. It was reassuring to have the sale of our business in the hands of such a competent professional. We would highly recommend your services to anyone interested in buying or selling a business. Thank you again.

"I have had an jos_opportunity to review the business valuation report you prepared regarding the consolidated fair market value of the client... in connection with your expert testimony in the case information contained in the report... is well written to the extent that it is totally understandable..."

Garvis L. Sams Jr., Attorney

"As I look back at 1998, I am thankful for several events that occurred - primarily, the sale of my company. I realize that this sale was complicated due to the three selling partner interests and because of the dependency on the Chicago office location, which was not offered for sale. Your dedication and ability to reach resolutions on a number of issues was paramount to completing this sale in a timely manner. Also, I admire your ability to arbitrate with the attorneys and relentlessly keep issues on track. I am truly grateful that Summit Acquisitions was selected as our intermediary and that you were assigned the lead role in completing the transaction."

Leonard Gorsk

"The professional manner in which you handled our recent acquisition... is commendable and largely is responsible for this successful closing... I am aware that there were considerable back and forth negotiations between seller and buyer, and in each instance you intervened in a manner in which convinced the seller that the buyer was backed up by professional advice...As a result, the sale was consummated on a satisfactory basis acceptable to each party. Without your professional input, this would probably have never happened."
