Service Overview

Our firm offers a comprehensive set of business services for the valuation and the sale of privately held, mid-market firms.

Representing Business Sellers

view selection criteria

For most owners, selling a company is a once a lifetime event. As a matter of fact, a recent IBBA study suggests that “75% of owners have no idea how they will exit from their business.” Most business owners have simply no transactional experience and can ill afford to make significant errors in this process.

Our firm’s broad experience with over 1000 affiliated M&A professionals in the field and collectively more than 100 years of transaction experience in this office will provide the best results to potential business sellers. We are a full service firm, providing advisory services from the very first step to the final closing (and often beyond that).

Bussiness Valuations

learn more

Business valuations are essential as a first step of attributing a proper value to a business. Our firm urges sellers to have a valuation performed by an independent, third party before selling, because buyers do not consider sellers “as serious” if such appraisal has not been put in place.

(We strongly recommend against using valuations from “in-house’ valuation departments of business brokerage firms because such valuations not only are subject to conflict of interests scenarios but they are also not considered as objective by investors).

In addition to typical business transfer valuations, we can help to facilitate valuations for estate planning, IRS matters, partnership conflicts, financing requirements and other reasons. Quite often we are contacted by law firms, accounting firms or other professional firms in this respect.

Turn-Around Consulting

On occasion, a business needs turn-around advisory services, in essence, putting a company onto “firm ground” first before a business transfer makes sense. We provide time limited, project defined assignments in this respect either by way of consulting through our professionals or by way of finding a highly qualified business coach.

Our firm’s principal has extensive project experience for international consulting assignments with a Fortune 500 company, having worked in teams along such prestigious firms like the Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey.

Transaction Advisory Services

We support business parties in non-traditional transactional matters such as leveraged buy-outs, selling to management members or transactions between partners within partnerships. This can also include family transition plans as it pertains to a business. Most of these transactions required financing whereas we can recruit our excellent contacts to numerous regional and national lenders. Or it will require specific tax planning, where, again, we can recruit any one of numerous highly qualified professionals in the field.

Targeted, Specialized Investor Search For Buyers

We provide a three-tier acquisition program for serious investors, which is considerably more sophisticated and efficient than traditional methods such searching websites or looking in newspapers.

For example, the initial step would consist of inserting an investor’s specific search criteria into our national MIS, essentially putting the request in front of 1,000 professionals who are in daily contact with a huge number of business owners throughout the country.

This full pro-active acquisition program will ultimately identify significantly more interested sellers than there are currently “on the market” from a traditional approach.

Sharon Miranda

“I highly recommend A. Neumann and Associates, especially Gary Herviou, Vice President of the company. After speaking with a couple of other business brokers, I came away feeling discouraged and uncertain about how to move forward with selling my small business. Then Gary returned my call, and the experience was completely different. Gary was kind, patient, informative, and incredibly easy to talk to. He took the time to listen to my situation, helped me realistically evaluate my business, and gave me honest, practical advice about what would work best for a business of my size. I never felt pressured—only supported and educated throughout our conversation. I am truly grateful that Gary took the time to call me back. His professionalism, knowledge, and genuine willingness to help gave me the confidence and direction I needed. If you're looking for someone who will treat you with respect and provide honest guidance, I highly recommend Gary Herviou and A. Neumann and Associates. Thank you, Gary, for your time, expertise, and encouragement. It made all the difference.”

Robbin Russell, Soule' Culinary and Art Studio

“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.”
