Why Confidentiality Matters

By John Vazquez

“So, I hear you’re selling your business.”  These are words you never want to hear when you are ACTUALLY selling your business.  Why is that?   Because if someone is telling you that, then chances are your employees know, your competitors know, your suppliers know, and your customers know.  This means you have already lost leverage in any…

Client Testimonials

“I do appreciate the high quality CIM your firm put together, so perhaps we'll have an opportunity to work together again in the near future.”

Johnny V, Investor,

“While I have only seen a few CIM’s from A Neumann & Associates, your team puts together a great presentation.”

Ben Neumann, Investor

“We worked with Gary on an acquisition of an Electrical Services company that just recently closed. Gary was a consummate professional throughout the entire process. His guidance, counsel and assistance throughout the entire process was invaluable, especially with this being our first venture into a small business purchase. The entire process was extremely professional. The CIM that was prepared for the company was well put together and informative. Gary demonstrated a deep knowledge of the company and was able to answer many of our initial questions. Gary stayed in close contact during the entire time from initial engagement through he day of closing to insure it went as smoothly as possible. If we pursue additional acquisitions or decide to sell a business, Gary would be my first stop for sure.”

Mark Evangelisto, Buyer

“I’m a Financial Advisor and have referred several of my business owner clients to Gary Herviou to help them sell their businesses. Each client’s experience working with Gary has been outstanding, giving me complete confidence to continue referring others in the future. Gary is a true professional who understands all the intricacies involved in buying or selling a business. I would never recommend that a client sell a business without having a representative like Neumann & Associates on their side.”

Chad White

“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
