“Jeff, I would like to thank you and the staff at CenterPoint for all your help in making the transfer of my company and customers to Vermont Heating & Ventilating possible.

“We contacted CenterPoint Business Advisors to conduct a valuation of our business, Valuland Food Store. We were very impressed with their results. We proceeded to list our business with them. OJ Robinson brought several qualified buyers to the table within the first couple of weeks. Within a few weeks, we had a satisfactory Purchase & Sales agreement in hand. OJ Robinson and his associate, Jeff Paquet, walked us through the entire process. They were in constant contact with us, smoothing the bumps. We would highly recommend CenterPoint. They are a professional, knowledgeable team that can deliver results."
Sellers, Peter Dole & H. Allen Hulse, BDH Inc., Valuland Food Store

“It took a long time for me to finally decide to use a business broker. I had a failed sale to one of my employees and I was discouraged about the process. I chose CenterPoint because of their reputation. They went immediately to work, secured a several interested buyers, and negotiated a full price offer for my business. My buyers were from England and the immigration process took much longer that anyone expected. CenterPoint did a great job keeping the deal together, helped me through some tough decisions, and propped me up when the going got rough. In the end everything went very well and I am grateful I had CenterPoint on my team."
Seller, All That Jazz - Deb Brown

“We had been trying to sell for a couple of years without success. CenterPoint Business Advisors was able to successfully market our business outside our region, attract a buyer, and sell our business. They stuck with a buyer through the financing and SBA process and did a great job of managing the details."
Sellers - Bessie's Diner, Bonnie, Vernon & Tammy Crawford

“We were very glad we choose CenterPoint to market our business. They worked closely with us to compile all of our information, performed a business analysis and established a competitive fair market value. All of the potential buyers were qualified. We were also pleased with CenterPoint's professionalism and attention to detail throughout the listing."

Patrick Collins, Mutli Location Retail Operator

“We worked exclusively with CenterPoint Business Advisors to immigrate to the U.S. and buy two businesses through the E2 Visa process. We never dreamed it would be as complicated as it was, and take a year to close. CenterPoint helped us put together a great team of advisors that worked together in the U.S. to keep our deals on track and support the immigration process while we were back in England. Even during the rough bits they held everything together. We couldn't have done it without their team!”
Buyers, All That Jazz & Notch Express, David & Vicki Martin, formerly of Southhampton Hampshire, U.K.

“We’ve purchased nearly 100 businesses in the past without a broker.  We were glad to have had CenterPoint Business Advisors to help coordinate the due diligence, manage the information flow, and provide solutions during negotiations that brought value to both parties.  In the end it was a win-win for all of us.” 
Buyers, Inland Divers - Michael O’Rourke & Steve Schlesinger, Tri State Fire LLC

“Working with Andy & Mike was a real pleasure.  They both worked diligently at bringing the sale to its conclusion in a very professional manner.  We were always impressed with their responsiveness to all of our questions, and calls.  It meant a lot to know that they were looking out for us." 
Buyer, Powersports businesses, Don & Lisa Little

“I had been working for someone else for most of my career and I wanted my own business. I had been looking, but couldn't find the right deal. CenterPoint Business Advisors helped me buy a business at a fair price. They helped me through the financing processes that involved the cooperation of two lenders and the SBA. I really felt we were a team and I am grateful for their efforts."
Buyer, Bessie's Diner - Ron Segala

“Michael put in an extraordinary effort; he assisted us with many, many things. From the beginning, showing us properties, listening to our needs and requests, seeking out information, putting together a business plan, introducing us to the appropriate people, and on, and on."
