As a first-time buyer navigating an SBA-financed acquisition, I couldn’t have asked for a better business broker than Kevin Hanks. From the initial introduction through a genuinely complex closing, Kevin was responsive, straightforward, and steady.
He facilitated a smooth and trusting relationship with the seller, and kept every moving part – SBA financing, the franchisor introduction, diligence, and closing logistics – progressing without letting things stall.
What stood out most was his communication: he was easy to reach, honest in his guidance, and clearly invested in getting the deal done right rather than simply getting it done. I’d work with Kevin again without hesitation, and I’d recommend him to any buyer looking for a partner who will go the distance.
Kevin Hanks did an exceptional job selling my business. He quickly learned the operation, understood my ideal buyer profile, aggressively marketed the opportunity, and carefully screened candidates so I met only with qualified, serious buyers. Kevin created a competitive process that drove urgency, kept everyone moving forward with a calm but directive approach, and leveraged his strong banking relationships to help make the financing possible. His sincere, consultative style earned the trust of both the buyer and me, and he made a complex transaction feel remarkably seamless—I could not recommend him more highly.
“I had built a business over 15 years and wasn’t going to risk it with the wrong buyer or a deal that could fall apart late in the process. Kevin took control from the start – positioning the business correctly, filtering serious buyers, and handling negotiations and due diligence throughout the process.
There were points when the deal could have gotten off track, but Kevin stayed steady, pushed when it mattered, and protected the value and my interests throughout. We closed a $3.1M transaction, and I walked away confident it was handled the right way.
If you’re serious about selling and need someone navigating all the details and the entire process, Kevin is who you want in your corner.”
