Testimonials
Jon and the team get results! They helped me arrive at the right valuation and the right buyer for my agency. Within weeks, we entertained calls with numerous potential buyers. Jon went above and beyond to ensure each party was satisfied with the transaction terms.
They assisted all the way through closing.I am so glad I decided to list with Number 1 Business Broker as they made my desired exit a reality.
I was looking to buy a business through various brokers for over a year, without any luck, when I met Jon. Jon first took the time to understand what I was looking for, my finances, and my skillset before recommending three businesses to me, where I made offers on two, and bought one.
In dealing with Jon, I found him to be honest, reliable, not in the least pushy, and more importantly, very caring to my needs and constraints. At the same time, I appreciated that Jon also had the best interest of the seller in mind, which created a fair and trusting atmosphere to facilitate the sale. As a result, I have the highest admiration for Jon and Number 1 business Brokers and will be using them exclusively for my future needs.
By far the best experience I’ve had with any business broker or M&A specialist (and I’ve sold MANY businesses over the last 40 years). Jon and his team are absolutely stellar at every single facet of getting a great deal done for all parties involved.
They can find the best buyers and can foresee problems BEFORE they arise. I can not explain how pleased I am with my experience and I would recommend Number 1 Business Broker to anyone selling or buying mid to large sized businesses.
