Thank you so much for everything that you did for myself, my family and my team. You helped me change many lives for the better through this deal. When we first met 4 years ago at a Nexstar super meeting, I had heard a lot of good things about you, and now I have experienced them first hand. SF&P Advisors helped me find the perfect partner for our platform, the Any Hour Group, which will be made up of many company brands across America.

You have been a true joy to work with, Fred. You have always been available to talk through the offers so we could make the best decision for myself, my wife, my business partner Jeremy and our managers. I also wanted to make the best choice for my employees and for the future companies that will partner with us. I actually found myself not wanting the process to come to an end because you have been so knowledgeable and helpful, and you’ve really listened to me to understand what our needs are.

You helped me buy-in 40 of my employees – actually, 41 counting Jeremy and myself. You should have seen every manager’s face when they received a good bonus plus shares in Any Hour Electric, Plumbing, Heating & Air upon closing this partnership with Knox Lane. The other platforms only wanted a few key managers to have shares, but I believe that all of my managers are key to our success, not just a few of them, and you helped convey that to the different PE groups that we interviewed with.

You took the time to learn what our goals were and you helped us align with Knox Lane, which truly is the perfect private equity partner. On top of that, you saved my team an enormous amount of time by helping us figure out our quality of earnings and our add backs. You are genuinely the most knowledgeable person that I know in M&A for service companies. Importantly, you’ve been respectful of my privacy and of my organizational chart by going directly to me. When it finally was time to get my team directly involved, every one of them enjoyed working with the personnel at SF&P Advisors throughout the process. Fred, thank you again for all of your hard work.

I have over 30 years of experience owning and growing my business. I had zero experience selling a multi-million dollar asset. SF&P is THE advisor in our space. They have an impeccable reputation and outstanding team of experts. I am quite certain that SF&P helped us earn the maximum for this once-in-a-lifetime transaction.

Over the last two years, I’ve looked at the idea of a change in business ownership and what options there were for the future. I started speaking with Brian and the SF&P team over the last year, and he helped me understand what the industry looked like, what options were out there, and he prepared me for what was to come.

During that time, SF&P was able to pair us with a buyer active in our market that was a perfect fit. Having them on my side really helped the transaction go smoother as there were a lot of emotions involved. It doesn’t have to be as complicated as you think, and having them as a trusted advisor on your side makes all the difference. This is something out of my wheelhouse and having them as a sounding board made the process much more seamless.

At the end of the day, we were able to go from an LOI to close within 60 days which shows how strong the systems SF&P has in place are. The SF&P team provided a tremendous amount of work that saved me and my wife major headaches while giving us the confidence to do a deal.

SF&P Advisors performed a valuation of our company within a strict time frame imposed by us in a very professional manner. The valuation was approached with many different methods and the end product was a reasonable conclusion; the entire process was well thought out and working with Fred was a pleasure.

I wanted to thank you for your help with our recent business transaction. You were instrumental in helping introduce us to multiple potential business partners. We talked to these groups and chose the one that we found met our same vision and values. We had many questions before and during our business transaction. You and your team were always quick to answer any question and help guide us through the process. Your team made this difficult process much easier. I highly recommend Fred and your team to anyone going through this process.

SF&P recently helped me sell my business; these guys are the best! Not only did they help me every step of the way, but they also helped me get a lot higher multiple than I was expecting. I don’t believe there could be anybody better than SF&P to hire when selling your company. They far exceeded my expectations; there is no way I could have done it without them. Thanks for all your hard work!!

You wanna buy or sell a house, you call a professional realtor. Filing taxes, you use a CPA. Heart surgery, you find the best doctor money can buy. Wanna sell your contracting business, get paid what you deserve and have an advocate every step of the way? Well, then you call Fred at SF&P, period.

SF&P Advisors helped me every step of the way of selling my company. Basically, I had been in business – the air conditioning and plumbing business – for about 5 years and finally was able to grow the company to the point that it was valuable and they really helped every step of the way. I felt safe, I felt secure and I felt everything was being done in the way that it needed to be done, from getting all of our numbers together so that they’d be accurate, all the way to the day of close. It was an amazing experience and I really appreciate these guys.
