What Is An Investor To Do Now?

By Joseph Eneldas

What is the investor to do now? With record amounts of cash on the sidelines, debt yields at history lows and gold hitting new highs, many potential investors/business buyers are questioning where the economy will be heading from here and what is the best time to acquire a business. Whereas we would never claim to…

Distressed Takeovers Soar

By Joseph Eneldas

The brutal recession is opening up the landscape to vulture investors as never before. New data show that distressed-debt deals — in which creditors use their debt positions to seize ownership of troubled companies — are running close to double the pace of 2008. Some 140 of the deals have been struck during 2009, compared…

Retailers that want to stay put are using the triggered clauses to negotiate multi-year rent reductions from their landlords, often in exchange for adding more years to their…

Increased Buy Side Activities

By Joseph Eneldas

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, NJ -With the slow thawing of credit markets and a diminished decline in economic activities, we see increased buyer activities. A recent new engagement generated 50 inquiries just within five days. Thus, we seem to see a trend that continues from what we had stated in our earlier email to you. However, for…

Economic Recovery?

By Joseph Eneldas

Exploring a little further the topic of our last email, namely the up-tick in transaction activity in the spring, we can report that March has been our second busiest month ever in the history of the company. Buyer inquiries have dramatically increased, and assuming this trend being an early indicator, the economy seems indeed to…

Springtime Fever?

By Joseph Eneldas

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, NJ – April – As unlikely as it appears, spring does indeed increase transaction flow. Whereas one would think that numbers don’t lie and result in the same analysis throughout the year, it’s the springtime that gets the juices flowing. And similar to the real estate market (although a quite different business altogether),…

Client Testimonials

“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

“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.”
