Testimonials

  • “ASG conducted all phases of their assignment quite professionally”
    “We had previously listed with another broker, with dismal results, and were delighted to replace them with ASG. Our sales process was longer and took a more twisted path than we had envisioned, but Arshad learned the intricacies of a new industry and guided us up through our final staff meeting where we introduced the new owners to our long-term employees. It was obvious to us then and now that we would not have been able to run our operation profitably and to manage “the business of selling our business” simultaneously without ASG working in the background. From their valuation and Confidential Business Review (a complete analysis of our business in book form) through screening buyers and finally a successful negotiation, ASG conducted all phases of their assignment quite professionally. Since our sale, we have referred ASG and their valuable seminar to at least six of our friends who are readying their businesses for sale.”

    Donna, Specialty Retail

  • “The final selling price was settled at $4 million, approximately twice our original competitor’s offer”
    “A competitor on the East Coast spontaneously offered to buy our company and although we had not considered selling the thought became more and more appealing and finally we decided it was a great idea. The board of directors and owner of our company were about to go through with the deal when a letter arrived in the mail from ASG advertising one of its seminars. We thought the seminar would be a great idea since we were about to sell our business and wanted to do it the right way. After the seminar we decided to go with ASG to represent our company and ultimately more potential buyers were found and the final selling price was settled at $4 million, approximately twice our original competitor’s offer. As a result, we were very pleased with ASG’s services and the results.”

  • “ASG never lost sight of MY goals, never pressured me in any way, and only presented possible buyers who were in-line with my desired results”
    “ASG helped me sell my business in record time and for top dollar. From the very first phone contact I was impressed with their professionalism and sincerity. They walked me through every stage of the process, from valuation all the way through the deal closing, without asking for any payment until the deal was finally closed. ASG never lost sight of MY goals, never pressured me in any way, and only presented possible buyers who were in-line with my desired results. Now that my business has been sold, I look back with gratitude and appreciation for what ASG was able to do for me. I cannot imagine having gone through this process without ASG’s professional guidance and support. Because of ASG, I found a synergistic buyer for my business and have the opportunity to finally realize my dream.”
