Sell With Confidence. Exit With Maximum Value.

I have had the pleasure of working with Nick on several client business transitions, and his expertise and professionalism consistently stand out. One transaction, in particular, involved a manufacturing company with first-time sellers who faced numerous questions, concerns, and anxieties. Nick’s patience and guidance were invaluable—he expertly walked them through every stage of the sales process, ensuring they understood their business’s value and helping them identify the right buyer.

Nick truly acted as the quarterback of the transaction, seamlessly managing the financial, legal, and tax aspects while keeping all advisors aligned and focused on closing the deal successfully. His ability to coordinate these complex elements was instrumental in achieving a smooth transaction. The sellers frequently expressed their gratitude for working with Nick, noting that his professionalism and commitment far exceeded their expectations—especially compared to another firm they had considered.

For any business owner contemplating working with Nick, my advice is simple: consider his experience and track record. Many so-called "brokers" are merely salespeople who list businesses for sale without truly understanding them. Nick, on the other hand, is a trusted advisor who not only navigates the financial and logistical aspects of a transaction but also helps business owners manage the emotional and psychological journey of selling their company.

Selling a business is about more than just finding a buyer—it’s about securing the best value for the seller and ensuring the company’s continued success. Nick’s dedication, expertise, and client-first approach make him the ideal partner for any business transition.

Selling our business was a significant and emotional decision, and as first-time sellers, we knew we needed expert guidance to navigate the complexities of the process. From our initial business valuation to marketing, negotiations, due diligence, and closing, Nick was there every step of the way, providing clarity and confidence in an otherwise unfamiliar journey.

Nick’s expertise and hands-on approach were invaluable. He took the time to understand our business and its unique dynamics, ensuring that we were well-positioned in the market. His ability to connect us with the right buyers and strategically manage the sale process gave us peace of mind. When we needed an experienced M&A attorney to handle legal documentation and due diligence, Nick introduced us to the right professionals, ensuring everything was handled smoothly and efficiently.

What stood out most was Nick’s unwavering commitment to our success. He was always available to answer our questions, kept us informed about each next step, and went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and prepared. His leadership, attention to detail, and ability to anticipate challenges made a complex transaction feel manageable.

We are incredibly grateful for Nick’s guidance and expertise. His professionalism and dedication exceeded our expectations, and we could not have asked for a better partner in this process. We highly recommend Nick to anyone looking to buy or sell a business—his knowledge and commitment make all the difference.

The biggest challenge Terry and I had with the sale decision was how to navigate the difference in our ages and the impact that had to extricating ourselves. After that the challenge was to find a partner/buyer/broker who could understand our business and show us that they understood the value that the company had in order to give us a price that measured up to our own value.

Nick gave me a very positive feeling from the first conversation. He presented his abilities and his energy very positively which made us comfortable with his plans and process. His initial presentation to us both had multiple valuations which demonstrated that he understood what our business was pretty clearly, after very little discussion. That added to our comfort level and made the decision to sign with him more comfortable.

Nick had a calming influence as we proceeded which was important since we have never gone down this path before. He provided advice when asked, gave opinions when asked, but did not push anything on us. He did hold firm, when necessary, but it did not come across as pushy. We felt that he was looking out for our interests.

Due to the speed at which we were able to close on the sale, it extended the transition period beyond perhaps what we would have liked. But we are navigating that as best we can with expectations that all is well. The speed at which we completed the process was surprising but also welcomed. We got a value that we considered reasonable and are happy with the outcome.

Our experience was positive, and we are extremely satisfied with the effort, professionalism and attention we received. Compared to other brokers, potential partners or firms we spoke to, Nick was by far the best choice for us and delivered on what he promised.

Nick and NEO Business Advisors were instrumental in selling my business. As a first-time seller, I needed expert guidance, and Nick delivered at every stage—from valuation to marketing, negotiations, due diligence, and closing. His approach was pragmatic, thorough, and tailored to my specific needs.

Nick’s deep understanding of the market, manufacturing operations, accounting principles and his ability to assess the full picture of a business were invaluable. He took the time to understand not just the numbers but also the intrinsic value of my company beyond the financials. Throughout the process, he was professional, attentive, and always accessible, providing clarity and confidence at every turn.

One of Nick’s greatest strengths is his negotiating ability. He expertly balanced buyer and seller interests, ensuring that everyone walked away feeling like a winner. His ability to navigate high-stakes discussions with strategy and precision earned him the well-deserved title of a “Velvet Cobra” in my book. He knows when to push, when to pivot, and how to keep emotions in check, which was key to closing the deal efficiently and on the agreed terms.

Without hesitation, I would hire Nick again in a heartbeat. His expertise, professionalism, and commitment to achieving the best outcome make him an outstanding advisor for any business owner looking to sell.

Selling our business after more than 18 years was an emotional and complex process, and we are incredibly grateful for Nick’s guidance. When we were approached with an unsolicited offer, we weren’t sure how to proceed. Fortunately, through our company accountant, we were introduced to Nick, and that relationship proved invaluable. He conducted a thorough business valuation, showing us that the initial offer was well below market value. With his expertise, we engaged in a formal sell-side process, ultimately negotiating a significantly higher purchase price and more favorable terms.

Nick expertly navigated every stage of the sale, from marketing and negotiations to due diligence and closing. His deep understanding of the financial, legal, and accounting aspects gave us confidence throughout the process. One of the most reassuring aspects was his introduction to Amy for legal counsel, which provided us with the support we needed to handle legal documentation and due diligence.

Nick was thorough, careful, and fair, always keeping our best interests at the forefront. His professionalism and attention to detail made what could have been an overwhelming process much more manageable. We highly recommend Nick to any business owner considering a sale—his expertise and dedication truly made all the difference.

I've had the pleasure of working with Nick on multiple business transactions, and his expertise in managing the sales process is second to none. He skillfully navigates every stage, from valuation to closing, ensuring a smooth and efficient transaction for the client. His strategic approach to the sale and inclusion of competent deal team professionals consistently results in favorable terms for his clients.

In every transaction we've worked on together, Nick has demonstrated an exceptional ability to anticipate challenges, communicate effectively, and keep deals moving forward. He is meticulous in his attention to detail and artfully manages client expectations—not an easy task for an emotional process. His ability to balance the financial, operational, and legal aspects of a deal while keeping the client’s best interests at the forefront is truly impressive.

Having Nick as the seller’s advisor made the sales of those businesses as seamless and profitable as possible. His professionalism, dedication, and ability to coordinate all aspects of a transaction make him an invaluable partner in the M&A process. I highly recommend Nick to any business owner looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated advisor.
