I will without hesitation recommend Jeff Wernick and Ronald Blue Trust for their expertise, character, transparency, and honesty in the complete transaction of selling my business from finding the buyer to closing the sale. It was a very positive experience from beginning to end for us. At times, Jeff would hold his position firm with the prospective buyer and also would speak kindly but be straightforward with me on what he thought was in our best interest. Throughout the process, Jeff was very honest and highly skilled with the buyer, me, and my team and it was an excellent experience and outcome for all concerned.
For the last eight years, Jeff Wernick and the Business Consulting arm of Ronald Blue Trust have consistently provided me in my role as president, our leadership team, and our company with excellent professional advice. They have captured our vision, understood our culture, interacted regularly with our leadership, evaluated our pain points, and advised us through significant corporate and industry change. All this has resulted in market share growth, increased employee morale, and a very bright future.
As with most small business owners, the partners of our company and I found the process of selling the business to be unfamiliar territory. Jeff was recommended to us and immediately became an invaluable part of our journey. He patiently educated us in the process, negotiated effectively on our behalf, and helped us maximize the value of the company. Jeff was professional and responsive in all aspects of his work with us. He impressed both our team and the acquirer’s team with his effectiveness and calm demeanor throughout the process. The owners and I could not have been more pleased with Jeff’s involvement with our transaction and would strongly recommend him to others considering a merger or acquisition for their company.
I would like to share my appreciation for Jeff Wernick and Ronald Blue Trust as I worked with them on the sale of my 300-plus employee business I started in 1989. I have to say it was a big decision for me to turn loose of many things and commit to walk through a very intense process. Jeff even negotiated positions and income for two of my sons that chose to stay with the new business owners. In my opinion, based on our experience, they are very deserving.
