I used SF&P Advisors to sell the commercial side of my business. From my initial meeting with Fred and his team to the completion of the deal, Fred was there every step of the way. The great strength of SF&P is bringing buyers from all over the country that helps maximize the deal and provided a great opportunity for both my employees and the buyer in finding success.

Fred Silberstein is the best in the industry with his vast knowledge of the HVAC, plumbing, and electric space and his vast knowledge of the private equity world. Fred provides a ton of value through the process of finding a partner. He knows his stuff!

With all of Fred’s experience, you can’t afford not to use him to help with one of the most important decisions of your career. He knows all the options and will prove invaluable to you throughout the process.

I’m extremely excited to continue the growth of this company, hand-in-hand with a new team to help assist. The possibilities are endless. This was by far one of the biggest decisions I have made in my life, and with the support of SF&P and Horizon Services, I have never had such peace of mind. Fred and his team made this a seamless transition. Fred went above and beyond to assist in the transaction!

The process of selling your business is both daunting and very personal. Further, the entity making the offer is likely much more experienced than you are, and this will be used against you.

You will be asked a multitude of difficult questions and provide a huge amount of data and intricate details about every aspect of your business during the due diligence process. You need someone to guide you through this process. You have to know what to focus on next and not get lost wasting time on the wrong thing. All the while you have taken the focus off your business. The longer the selling process is, the greater the damage is to your business. This will also be used against you. You will realize that the negotiation process is ongoing and is never truly over until the final moment before close!

To be successful in this process, you will need a very good attorney, CPA, and someone you trust internally. Most of all, you need a very good M&A advisor. They will more than pay for themselves in getting you the most money for your business, guiding you through the process and closing the deal in the shortest time period possible.

We used SF&P Advisors. In the trade, there is no one more experienced and competent and capable of getting you over the finish line with the best possible results.

Fred and his team were an integral part of the recent sale of our business. After 34 years of ups and downs and eventually running a successful and profitable business, it was hard to discern the value (what someone else will pay) for my business. With the guidance of SF&P, I am confident that I got a fair price (and more) for my company. Unless you have a background in finance, experience with mergers and acquisitions, and a working knowledge of the current market, I would strongly advise utilizing the services of Fred and his team at SF&P.

Fred’s contacts throughout the private equity, strategic buyers and private banking industry is extensive. He helped us find the right partner who understands acquisitions, integration and strategic growth. We could not have done our transaction without his assistance.

I’ve developed a relationship with Fred going back 16 years when I first sold my company and when I bought it back. We have worked with Fred through the years exploring various opportunities. In May 2016, Fred was the consultant on the transaction we closed. We will continue to use Fred as we look for other opportunities. His insight and experience are invaluable to the process.

Having known of Fred for over 20 years, it was a no-brainer in seeking his advice and expertise when it came time to exit my business. Fred found the right buyer at the right price in the very beginning of the pandemic when fear and uncertainty in the economy were at their peak. Fred and his team are truly the go-to professionals and experts in HVAC/plumbing and electric mergers and acquisitions.
