Bob Dolan’s Summary

If you are looking for a buyer for your business, or looking for an acquisition as incremental sales growth, or a stand-alone business, you have found someone who is passionate about what he does, gets results as well as a straight talker and to the point. There are several reasons Bob can help.

- Bob only works with five to eight mid-market/lower mid-market clients at a time which allows him to be responsive, focused, and connected with clients at all times.
- Bob does not use multi-listings with other brokers but rather a closed network of professional referring sources of over 400 consultants for a pool of potential buyers, looking for businesses with EBITDA/SDE of $250,000 and/or gross sales of more than $1,000,000.
- By not using a the multi-listing network, it allows Bob to keep control of confidential information which is a foremost concern.
- Bob is a specialist in the printing/graphics trade, manufacturing, medical practices, medical billing, as well as business services.
- From Bob’s extensive graphics and marketing background and available tools, he is able to package a business and present it for sale to command the highest reasonable value.
- Bob’s core management background has been in operations, sales, and marketing with a particular skill of listening very carefully and being able to find the middle ground of both sides of the transaction to consummate the sale.
- Size matters. As a Boutique Brokerage/Intermediary business, Bob promises that you will get the owner regardless of whether the deal is large or small. You will get the utmost attention. Clients notice our “entrepreneurial spirit”.
