“After managing this business for almost 10 years, I could not have chosen a better partner to help a nd the right buyer than I did with The Forbes M+A Group. The team was very knowledgeable, organized and extremely eff ective in finding a great buyer and closing the deal. The buyer of our business also expressed their sincere appreciation for The Forbes M+A Group’s professionalism and e fforts on my behalf.”
– Frank Traylor, VisionTek
Vice President
I am happy to be part of a team that helps owners pinpoint drivers of business value, grow by securing capital and acquiring other companies, and most of all, exit for the highest prices and terms by creating competition among the best buyers.
