Tony has 32 years’ experience working with small to medium sized companies in many industries. Nobody in the local area, and few people nationally, has Tony’s credentials. He is a retired CPA and has been certified by four prominent national business broker organizations. This experience has resulted in our firm’s unique process that helps business owners not only successfully sell their company but also for maximum value.
Many business owners have a substantial portion of their overall personal net worth tied up in their business value. Many owners unknowingly leave a sizable amount of their net worth at the closing table. Don’t take this risk by leaving the sale of your business in inexperienced hands. If you needed open heart surgery, would you use a resident or a foot doctor for that matter? The same concept applies when selling your company. Experience counts!
Cris has 26 years of business brokerage experience across a broad spectrum of small to medium-sized manufacturing, distribution, technology, retail, and service companies. Cris is a Certified Business Intermediary (CBI) and a long-time member of the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA). In 2016, the IBBA presented Cris with the honorable "Lifetime" Certified Business Intermediary distinction administered to only about 60 intermediaries in the world.
Cris earned his CBI credentials in 2001. The CBI is granted to a select group of individuals who are seasoned in the industry, have completed hours of course work related to the sale of a business and have passed comprehensive exams. As a prior owner of several companies, Cris understands the unique needs of business owners who wish to sell.
