'If it wasn’t for Sheila this deal would not have happened.'
“Sheila was able to find us a business that really fit us. She really dove into the business, reviewed the financial information and analyzed the numbers. She really broke it down so it was really easy for the layman to understand if it was a good business or not.
Sheila worked, and worked, and worked to make sure that the deal didn’t die. There were a few times we thought: “Well this is just not going to happen.” And Sheila worked with the seller’s brokers to make sure that it did happen. Sheila’s expertise really superseded theirs.
I recommend Sheila for anyone that wants to purchase a business. She’ll work with the bank for you. She will find the right lender for you. She will make sure that all of the business licenses are put into place.
She will follow up with every minute detail to the final closing. And she will be there with you. Sheila was with us from the start to the finish. It was like having one of your best friends work with you.
You can rely on Sheila. If she says she’s going to call you back, she calls you back. If there’s something that happens, Sheila is right there. She is by far the best business person I’ve ever met actually.
I have come to realize exactly how experienced Sheila is, and how much she had to do that normally she wouldn’t have in a normal transaction. But she did it for us to make things to run smoothly and to help us in the transition.
I believe Sheila was totally responsible for making our business purchase happen. She was able to get the lender to give us the better loan than we ever thought we would receive. She was able to get us a better interest rate and the right amount that we needed to run the business.
She kept us positive and motivated. She found a way to get it done. And the more we got to know her, the more we realized she is worth her weight in gold. We looked at each other and said, 'If it wasn’t for Sheila this deal would not have happened.'
We feel like she’s one of the family, and we plan to know her for a very long time. And anything we can do to help her in her business we will.
We’re just very excited and very happy with how everything turned out. It was definitely much easier in a lot of ways then what we thought it was with Sheila’s help. I don’t think we could have ever done the transition as smoothly without her.”

Sheila's grass roots, down-to-earth approach works well in resolving issues and being able to separate the real business decisions from the emotions.
My wife and I wanted to expand our entreprenuerial nature and decided to buy a business. I have known Sheila for a number of years and I trust her. And because of that trust she was the logical person to help us on our journey.
Sheila has the business and banking background over many years. And I felt very comfortable with her expertise to not only help us find a business to buy but to guide us through that process successfully.
She told us up front that in every transaction there is one major hurdle that must be overcome. And because of her experience in preparing us for that 'unknown but expected' situation we were mentally prepared to deal with it. And ultimately we successfully purchased the business.
Sheila is very forthright and levelheaded. She kept the task in sigh and her eye on the ball and kept pushing through until we came to resolution on the various challenges we encountered.
She did a really nice job of mediating the relationship between us and the seller and the seller's broker. She continued to explore ways to make things work for both sides. She put it together and kept it together even when it looked like hope was lost.
Her grass roots, down-to-earth approach works well in resolving issues and being able to separate the real business decisions from the emotions. She also helped the seller understand our motivations and our limitations.
She is persistent and firm when she needed to be. Yet she also stepped back and let others vent when that was appropriate.
She came up with a muliple array of solutions for a particular problem and kept the dialogue open in order to reach a successful resolution for both sides.
She has also provided us with a good foundation to launch our business. She worked with us to develop a very detailed marketing implementation plan for our business. We weren't aware of the scope of issues that Sheila pointed out for us. We now look at marketing and building our business in a whole new way.
We realized that we had to learn some new concepts and in some cases dispell false concepts about why customers choose to do business with your company.
I highly recommended Sheila to other business owners that are ready to buy a business or want to build its value.

She got things done that the other broker said couldn’t be done. . . .
We were moving to Idaho and changing our lives. We were referred to Sheila and after meeting with her, we felt comfortable that she knew how to help us.
She acted as our representative and helped bring up points that we needed to address. I don’t know if we would have gotten the SBA loan if not for Sheila. Other people we know have been turned down when attempting to get this type of financing.
She did a lot of legwork that probably would have cost us more money if not for her effort. She gave us confidence that the business “penciled out” for financing and cash flow. She reviewed growth, capitalization, funding, management, salaries, etc.
She basically did a prospectus for us. She did a majority of due diligence that I don’t think we would have gotten otherwise. Because of her background, she is aware of certain issues.
She inspected tax returns, financial documents and bank statements. She negotiated with the lender, the broker, seller and the SBA in order to get what we wanted. She got things done that the other broker said couldn’t be done.
She put together a financing plan that has had more benefit to us than just getting a loan. This plan was very helpful later in other business dealings because of the quality of the work she did.
She still consults with us on various business issues. We can bounce ideas off of her and get her perspective. We consider her part of the family.
We won’t make a move in buying, selling or financing our business without talking to her. She has helped us focus on how to grow our business to build the best value.
She goes far beyond the traditional business broker. She is a person that pulls no punches. She tells you what you need to know. She can represent both sides of a transaction and I would be comfortable with that. We trust her a lot.”
