As a founder of a small business, one of the most difficult decisions I had to make was selling my business. Part of that decision involved selecting a qualified company to determine my company’s value, market the company for sale and represent my interests during the sale of the business. From the initial interview of Dave Richards to the signing of the sale documents, it was obvious that Keystone was the right choice to represent my company.
Dave Richards personally handled all aspects of the sale. He first spent countless hours learning about the dynamics of my business. Only after fully understanding how I operated on a daily basis, did he felt confident in determining the company’s value. He explained the entire process of how he would market the company for sale and keep the sale confidential. Only after carefully qualifying potential buyers, did Dave bring multiple buyers to me.
Probably the most valuable service that Dave provided during the marketing and sale process was acting as a buffer between me and the buyer. There were a few bumps in the road up to the final signing of the documents, but Dave was there to smooth them out.
In summary Dave Richards exceeded my expectations. He provided exactly the services he promised and more. He more than earned his very fair commission. It was amazing, in only nine short months Dave was able to find multiple qualified buyers for me to pick from and close the deal.

Mark,
I would like to dedicate this correspondence to thanking you for your professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail in regards to our now closed transaction. Your devotion to our acquisition strategy made this happen and I could not be happier with the service you and your company have shown me.
Let's find another company and do it again!

I had the extreme privilege of working with Keystone Business Advisors in 2006. I owned a large health club for 21 years in the Thousand Oaks area and felt the time was right to “retire” from this fitness business to devote more time to my law practice.
Dave handled the successful sale of my business quickly, efficiently and it was stress free as far as my involvement. The whole process took less than three months which left me in awe of his capabilities. Dave was professional, confidential and conscientious is the process from beginning to end. I would, without hesitation, recommend Dave and Keystone Brokers to anyone looking to buy or sell a business.

I hired Dave Richards from Keystone Business Advisors to help me with the process of selling my business. Dave met with me and went over my business and soon came up with a selling price we both agreed on and I listed my business with him.
After only two weeks from listing my business with Dave he brought me 4 potential buyers. Three of those four buyers made written offers within that same week. All offers were strong, serious and right on the money. I was actually able to choose who I sold my business too. Incredible!
We soon entered escrow and Dave handled all the details that involved the necessities of a business sale. We closed escrow in approximately 28 days! It all happened in a blink it seems like. The process was so easy for me because Dave was so hands on and handled everything. Dave and Keystone Business brokerage was efficient, professional, pleasant, hardworking and always reachable.
After interviewing many business brokers before choosing Dave and now having gone through the experience of selling a business with him and Keystone Business Advisors I can speak from experience that Dave is the best in this business. He has the contacts, the connections and the knowledge necessary to sell a business properly, quickly and hassle free.

Dear Mark,
While the successful close is still fresh in all of our minds, I wanted to drop you this quick note to acknowledge your valuable contribution to getting this transaction done and to thank you and the whole team at Key Stone Business Advisors. Every sale of an operating business has its challenges, and when you throw in a bank loan and related complications the challenges can sometimes overwhelm the forward momentum of the deal. Thanks to your attention to detail, your experience, your judgment and your intelligence the company was successfully purchased by our mutual client and the deal was successfully closed. Without your dedicated efforts there might not have been a happy ending to this adventure.
