After founding A Step Ahead Academic Center in 2006 and leading the center for seven years, I made the decision last fall to seek an educator to take over leadership of the center. I was fortunate to be referred to Ron Buck by a friend who had great success buying a business with Ron’s guidance. Ron was a driving force behind the successful sale of my business.
As the founder of a tutoring center serving students with learning differences, it was imperative to me that the new owner have a passion for impacting the lives of children. It became evident that Ron not only cared about finding a buyer but he was committed to finding the RIGHT buyer. He moved beyond the “numbers” of the business and learned about the culture of the center. He learned about what drove the success of the business. He learned about the expertise of the faculty and the needs of the students.
Ron exceeded all expectations in terms of communication, professionalism, confidentiality, expertise, and attention to detail. Selling a business that I view as my life’s work was at times an emotional process, and Ron served as an excellent sounding board as critical decisions were made. I highly recommend Ron Buck to anyone interested in acquiring or selling a business.
I considered buying a business that Ron’s client was selling through Murphy Business and Financial Corporation. Throughout this process, Ron was the consummate professional. He wrote a very well thought-out memorandum on his client’s business. Even more impressive, he responded to all of my (and my wife’s) detailed questions about the business as if it were his own business. As a result, if I were trying to sell a business, I would certainly utilize Ron’s services.
Ron, thanks for your all your time and expertise in leading the acquisition of the Servpro franchise for me. Throughout the entire process you set clear expectations and kept all parties on track. We would have not completed this deal without your help.
I look forward in working with you when I purchase my next Servpro franchise.
Ron is thoroughly knowledgeable about all aspects of buying/selling businesses. We were extremely impressed with him and his understanding of the businesses he represents. He is an excellent resource and if you opportunities to work with Ron… Do.
