David Martin MDBusiness Acquisition Assistance

“Strategy Solutions was very helpful throughout two successful business acquisitions. They analyzed background/financial data, helped us project future potential earnings/cash flows, organized information into a presentable form for lenders to review, and provided insights into the advantages and disadvantages of the acquisitions. Our team was very excited about both potential acquisitions – and it was reassuring to have an experienced consulting team provide their independent perspectives on the risks, uncertainties, valuation, and future growth opportunities. They saved our company significant money based on providing accurate valuation estimates.”
