Private Company Sales

The sale of your business can be an arduous and time-consuming process that can take you away from running your business unless you have the right financial advisor.

Strategic Acquisition Searches

We will carefully review your products and/or services as they apply to your market as well as those of other markets to develop the appropriate acquisition criteria and strategy.

Business Valuations

A critical management tool for any business owner is the knowledge and understanding of his business’s value as determined through fact-based analysis.

Distributor Business Reviews

We’ve developed a subscription program to provide your company with detailed industry-specific information to help you increase sales, margins, and profitability.

General Business Consulting

We can evaluate your strengths and weaknesses to help you identify and achieve your goals via strategic planning, develop your business plan, as well as perform special projects.

Small Distributor Services

Feedback From Our Clients

Testimonials

Certified Marketing Consultants did everything necessary to sell my company. Timing was critical to me. After one buyer withdrew late in the process, CMC immediately brought another buyer to the table and closed the deal quickly. They worked nights and weekends to get the deal done with terms that fit my needs. Without CMC's industry contacts and expertise I would have had great difficulty. Now I have more time to spend with my growing family. Thanks CMC!

When we decided to implement a consolidation strategy for Senator Group USA, we wanted the best advisors in the industry on our team in Certified Marketing Consultants. They helped negotiate and facilitate our acquisition of Dart Manufacturing. CMC's experience and expertise helped us acquire one of the finest suppliers in the industry. We couldn't be more pleased and look forward to CMC assisting us as we continue to grow Senator Group USA. Thanks CMC!
Michael NickChairman, Senator Group USA
Thank you for all of your help in the recent sale of my company. When I decided to sell the company, I did not have any idea how complex of a transaction it would be. I was very impressed with your service from the very beginning. After your very complete valuation of my company, I gave you the go-ahead to market it. You had an offer and letter of intent in less than 24 hours…I can highly recommend you and your company’s services. Anyone using you will be dealing with a top professional company.
Randy ElliottFormer President, Advertising Novelties Group
Certified Marketing Consultants, Ltd., recently helped us market and sell our Company. We tried another broker prior to CMC but when he couldn’t get it done I engaged CMC and they delivered. They were persistent and professional in their approach and it became apparent very quickly that these guys know the process extremely well. I would highly recommend CMC to anyone considering the sale of their business. These guys truly are the Industry experts when it comes to Merger & Acquisition services!
