"Alan had our best interests at heart at every step of the process" - Alan


It is a privilege to write a reference for someone you engage to perform a service for you, that involves a significant sum of money, and they not only meet your expectations, but exceed them; I found Alan to be one of those people, who not only talked the talk, but certainly walked the walk!

We were very close to selling our business privately (not recommended!) when I contacted Alan to query how often a ‘Earnout Clause’ was used in business – answer, just about never! This led to Alan valuing our business at close to double our expectation, but here is the kicker! He said he would exceed that higher valuation by a significant amount, and that he had at least 5 people/businesses, who would not only pay that amount, but would be literally fighting each other to buy it. Who do you know in sales of this nature, that would make this kind of rash statement, virtually no one!

True to his word, the first-person Alan contacted, was on our doorstep in 2 – 3 days, from the other end of the country, and a price that matched Alan’s claims, was agreed on in about 10 days. The whole process from engaging Alan to settlement, was exactly 3 months.

Alan had our best interests at heart at every step of the process, as it should be. He is knowledgeable, easy to talk to, a good listener and a person you feel comfortable with, and want on your team, he comes with my highest recommendation.
