  • Proprietary selling methodology

    Designed to attract multiple qualified buyers and create buyer competition, which drives competitive offers.

  • Personalized representation

    Your sale is handled directly by one of our Principals, not passed off to a junior associate.

  • 30+ years of experience

    Across Main Street businesses and mid-market M&A transactions.

  • Full range of services

    Including business sale representation, M&A advisory, and exit & succession planning for owners not yet ready to sell.

Start With a Valuation

Why a Business Valuation Is Often the Right First Step

Many owners aren’t sure if now is the right time to sell and that’s exactly why a valuation matters before any decision is made.

A complimentary valuation helps you understand:

  • What your business may be worth in today’s market
  • Whether current market conditions make this a good time to consider selling
  • What factors could increase or limit your selling price
  • What steps may improve value before going to market

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

From first conversation to closing, here’s how our clients describe the experience.
C Collins

I recently had the pleasure of working with Buddy to sell my small business. He is a knowledgeable professional who was always available to address my questions or concerns. He made the selling process much less stressful. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a broker.

Laura Glennon

Buddy is a skilled negotiator and knows when to back away to give parties time to consider their options and when to reopen negotiations. I couldn't have sold my company without his guidance and expertise throughout the process. I will definitely use him again as a broker -- this time to buy a company!

Margaret Daniel

Worked with Buddy to sell my business. He took care of absolutely every facet of the sale. Made what could have been a stressful time into a painless experience. He was initially recommended by Score. I highly recommend him.

Arlo Skowyra

I have had several transactions with Buddy over the years. He has always been professional, responsive, well connected and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Buddy.

Michael Cimini

I have used Squizzero, Carp & Associates as a broker both on the buy and the sell side and have always been very happy. Professional, efficient, easy to work with, and they always call you back when they say they will. Highly recommend.
