Deals That Fall Apart

By Joseph Eneldas

Once an investor has reviewed the prospectus and met with the business owner, and both parties have agreed upon an offer to purchase, the deal is 90% done, right? Wrong! “We frequently see business owners and business buyers feeling somewhat relieved once an offer has been agreed upon,” says Achim Neumann, President of A Neumann…

By Achim Neumann “Due diligence” is commonly referred to as the process of verifying information that was previously presented in preparation for the sale of a business.  Unlike buying a car or house, justifying the price for acquiring a business entity requires financial documentation to verify the true cash flow and to support a full…

Close The Company – Not The Best Retirement Solution

By Joseph Eneldas

“Recently, I had the opportunity to work with a small business owner who was worried if his business was worth selling”, says Glen Michalske, Managing Director, North Carolina, A Neumann & Associates LLC, a New Jersey based Mergers & Acquisitions and Business Brokerage firm. “He was thinking of just letting the years of hard work…

Save The Commissions – Forget the Advisor!

By Joseph Eneldas

Not surprisingly, the value of an M&A Advisor or business broker is often questioned. The intuitive reaction of a business owner is to question the commissions involved in selling a business and to try to avoid such “cost items.” “Rarely, though, does a business owner take into account the opportunity costs of not selling at all, or…

A Breach Of Confidentiality Could Spell Disaster

By Joseph Eneldas

Undoubtedly, maintaining confidentiality throughout the process of selling a business is one of the most important aspects of a business transaction. Some contend that confidentiality is THE most important aspect, often even exceeding the value determination.  Why so? “Simply stated,” says Frank Arcoleo, Managing Director, Central Pennsylvania and New York, of A Neumann & Associates,…

An Unsolicited Offer – What NOT to Do

By Joseph Eneldas

Client Testimonials

“I'm an attorney. I have represented the buyers and sellers of businesses for 20+ years. Recently I had the pleasure of handling a transaction where Richard Wilder of A. Neumann & Associates was the broker for the seller. Mr. Wilder was of great service to his client. He is very knowledgeable and organized. Thanks to his guidance the transaction proceeded smoothly and closed on time. He is highly recommended.”

Nick Ferrante

“Richard, you came to my office a few years ago and were wonderful in explaining your process and procedures. Our company is probably an anomaly in that we sold the majority to two long time employees and I financed them both. Our company is entering its 45th year and is still thriving. The purpose of the note is to thank you very much for the service that you provide. Thank you again.”

John Foug, Seller

“We had a great experience working with Richard Wilder from Neumann and Associates as the sell-side broker for Blade Runners. He was knowledgeable, professional, and clearly had his client’s best interests at heart. Richard helped keep the process smooth for everyone, and thanks in part to his efforts, we found a fantastic owner to partner with. We'd gladly work with Richard and the Neumann and Associates team again.”

Justin Martin

“Very happy with Richard and the entire process. I was on the buyer side of the transaction.”

Isaac Palmer, Jr.

“If you are looking for a professional and informative company that meets your needs, A Neumann & Associates is the company to go with. Ted Kantor went above and beyond to make our experience as easy as possible. Ted was helpful from the start of our process to the end. He was there every step of the way to guide us and answer all of our questions. He handled all of the in-depth communication and followed up on every detail. We strongly recommend Ted Kantor to help you whether you're buying or selling. It was a great experience. We never imagined it would go as smooth as it did. The Laluna's (Andy, Maria & Tony Jr)”

Maria Laluna

“A Pleasure to work with - I highly recommend them! Working with Richard Wilder was a pleasure, and he found us the perfect match.”

Laura Keith-Macario

“This spring we acquired a business that was represented by Richard Wilder at A Neumann & Associates. Small business acquisitions can be very emotional for the sellers and life-changing for the buyers, and Richard was keenly aware of this throughout the process. Although he was working for the sellers and not for us, he knew that most business owners see their business as their baby so the only way to have a happy outcome for his clients was to also have a happy outcome for the buyers. Knowing how nerve-wracking this process can be (think home buying x 10), he never dropped the ball on keeping everyone updated, anticipating potential snags, and guiding us along in the process. We highly recommend Richard.”

Shannon, Buyer

“My business was my baby for over 40 years. It is a tough and cruel world out there when it comes to selling your business. Neuman and Associates provided the professional guidance/protection to get the job done with care and no pressure. In my view a tremendous value. I would recommend them to anyone seeking to sell their business. Eric Storck, president of Blade Runners Inc.”

Eric Storck, President - Blade Runners Inc.

“I’m really impressed with how your firm operates. The focus on confidentiality, the thorough vetting process, and the use of third-party accredited valuations really stand out. It’s easy to see why you’ve built such a strong reputation over the years.”

Ann M., Investor

“Thanks for sending over such a detailed CIM.  While I have only reviewed a have dozen CIMs at this point, your company has put together the most comprehensive data and detailed presentation I have seen so far.”
