Kind Words



Denny & Dee Burrow

“Working with Joe and Sandy was a pleasure. They were very thorough and professional from start to finish. Their focus on the screening of buyers to find someone who would be dedicated with the will to succeed in a complex business venture was very important. We feel that Joe, Sandy and their staff worked very diligently to achieve the final goal of selling our business for an “accurate and fair” value.”

“BizAdvocates.com's professional marketing skills and business savvy generated a qualified buyer in an expedient fashion. Joe successfully directed a highly complex (million dollar +) sale involving several buyers and multiple personalities. He guided us through third-party appraisals, CPA's, lenders and attorneys...he really earned his fees. We are eternally grateful to him and all his staff.”

Huckleberry Haven, a Manufacturer of Jam and Gourmet Products

“BizAdvocates.com made selling our business easy. We were glad we had our Third-Party Appraisal when Joe found us a buyer...it helped move the sale along. On a scale of 1 to 10, BizAdvocates.com is an 11!”

“I can't tell you enough how appreciative Lisa and I are for your commitment and dedication you have given us this past year. I definitely have a new found admiration and respect for the consulting industry. I truly believe you and your company and staff are making and will continue to make the economy stronger through your process. Making the transition from an employee to an entrepreneur is not easy and without your vision and support I would probably have just continued to dream.”

“From evaluation to closing and employee notification, they handled the sale of our business with amazing support. They and their staff are extremely professional, thorough, complete, and operate with total confidentiality. They screen buyers, which eliminates frustration for sellers; their people skills are uncanny. We cannot say enough about the superior organization that Joe and Sandy operate.”

“We wanted to write you a note and tell you once again how much we appreciate your assistance in selling our business this year. We realize that we could never have sold our business without Joe & Sandy - the professionalism coupled with the consideration for our concerns was beyond anything we could have ever expected. Joe & Sandy always said what they would do and then did just that. We were aware that BizAdvocates.com works with many different companies at the same time, but we always felt like we were the only one, our phone calls were always returned immediately and our questions and concerns were always addressed with a positive can-do attitude.

Joe and Sandy are truly the model we should all strive to be like - both professionally and personally, they taught us a great deal about the importance of solid relationships on every level. We feel like we not only made a fantastic business deal, but we made some very special friends. We have already recommended BizAdvocates.com to several other people interested in selling or purchasing businesses.”

Central Montana Panels, a Manufacturer of Ranch and Livestock Equipment

“We were friends with the sellers and were interested in purchasing their business. After a year of trying to make it happen and not being successful, we turned to BizAdvocates.com for guidance. They took over the process, from the third party appraisal, due diligence, to arranging our financing and the attorney's legal documents necessary for the closing. In the several months that I have worked with Bob, Joe & the BizAdvocates.com staff, I have seen them take us to a level beyond what we had imagined possible. We appreciate their sincerity, expertise and the efforts they expended to make our acquisition of this business a success. We are just thrilled!”

Tim & Amy Wood
Marketing Business

“It is hard to say in a few sentences all the great things BizAdvocates.com has done to find a buyer and complete the sale. Joe, Sandy, and the BizAdvocates.com staff are competent, professional, and caring to boot. Their hard work made the sale happen and they have my grateful thanks for a job well done.”

Eric Snell
Manufacturer

“We want to express our appreciation to you, Sandy and your staff for your help and expertise on our recent business acquisition. We were pleased that you were able to identify several companies who were good potential candidates. We felt your process for analysis and due diligence allowed us to be thorough in our evaluation. We were pleased with the responsiveness of your team and the overall support. We wish Bizadvocates all the best and look forward to continuing our relationship.”

Chris & Susan Newman
Manufacturer

“Joe, you and your group have been the best. I know I started this process as being one of the most skeptical people in the world, even though I remain so, I have changed my thinking dramatically. All of you, including Bob, Sandy, Liz, Fawn and even Max, were so special to deal with. I sincerely hope Dixie and I can operate our new venture with as much honor as you have shown us throughout this process. I am sure you can imagine how busy things are right now, but we wanted to take a minute to tell you of the truly delightful experience we had working with you. Best wishes.”

Dan Givens & Dixie Baird-Bird
Food Service

“BizAdvocates.com was very experienced and professional from the very beginning. They made sure things were taken care of from the third-party business appraisal to the final documents and coordinating the business transfer. The most remarkable thing was how well the buyer was matched to my particular business. Joe & staff, Thanks!”

Ken Rumbaugh
Manufacturer

“Having just completed the sale of our business we had purchased 11 years earlier (without the professional services of Joe and his staff at Biz Advocates) contentment is setting in. There has always been lingering discontentment with the purchase price we accepted over a decade ago as a real understanding of it's value was never really established. With the independent appraisal for our business, Biz Advocates worked with, a sale could take place with a secure and fair foundation both parties could feel confident with. Joe and his staff were pleasant and professional and beyond reproach. Thank you for our new found independence.”

Robert & Kathy Remus
Restaurant

“BizAdvocates.com has been a very credible company to work with in appraising, representing, and selling our business. It was great to work with people that were trustworthy.”

Dick & Sheila Reynolds
Marketing Business

“The buying process was explained well and went extremely smooth considering all of the bad things we had read and heard about in buying a business. We expected the worst and got the best. We could have had lots of ups and downs because of the process and not knowing what to do. The company is as busy as ever, so thanks for finding the business I've always wanted.”

Dusty & Bethanne Williams
Manufacturer

“When asked how we felt about you and your services during the transaction, our response is: Bravo! Bravo! We were very impressed with the quality and speed of the work you did. In fact, at times we felt we weren't doing enough. Thank you so very much for helping us to secure our future...you have helped make us very happy!”

Paul & Wendy Van Noy
Industry Service

“Joe is wonderful. We don't know what we would have done without him... we know we would have sold to someone within our own industry at a wholesale price. We would not have known what a good agreement or a bad one was. His financial advice and guidance helped us out along the way. The BizAdvocates.com staff did so much behind the scenes to make it easier for us. Everything was done and presented in a very professional manner. We would recommend them with highest confidence.”

Bob & Tamara Boyd
Equipment Distributor

“How often do you really meet someone who follows through 110% on every single detail, no matter how small? I would have said 'Never!' especially in any sales field. Joe, you came through with flying colors. My hat is off to you for that reliability and for the ability to find co-workers with the same outstanding work ethic. Outstanding! Thanks to you all.”

Barbara Harp
Manufacturer

“With the help of the staff at BizAdvocates.com we were able to buy a business that matched our area of expertise as well as our budget. Joe, Sandy, and Staff made buying our business easier than moving five kids halfway across the country. Thanks to their help, we are now living the 'American Dream'... Thanks guys!!”

Lorin & Heather Rigby
Manufacturer

“I was really disappointed that I would have to deal with someone other than the owner of the business. As I look back now, I had no idea that buying a business could be so complicated. If it hadn't been for Joe and his staff, I would have thrown my hands in the air and walked away after the first meeting with the bankers and other involved parties. Joe was able to keep the misery to a minimum and the reassurance and optimism to a maximum. He led the charge with savvy and expertise that are a must in the red tape arena of business financing. I really don't think it would have happened without BizAdvocates.com.”

Larry & Luanne Green
Retail

“I have a strong sales background, but I was very impressed with Joe's step-by-step process for securing a quality buyer, handling problems along the way, and facilitating this very large sale with the bankers, CPA's, and attorneys.”

Gary & Patti Hardman

“BizAdvocates.com was very thorough, professional, and seemingly able to foresee what was coming! It was nice to go into a meeting having already been previewed as to what to expect. The demeanor of Joe, Sandy, and staff was always peaceful... giving you a relaxed feeling at a sometimes uptight situation. We thoroughly enjoyed working with these professionals!”

Gary & Patti Hardman

“We were thoroughly impressed with BizAdvocates.com....uper to work with, literally went the extra mile. Everyone was pleasant and professional. We encountered several roadblocks, but Joe's experience and professionalism made it all happen!”

Pat & Debbie Martin

“If it hadn't been for Joe and Sandy, the deal would not have gone through... they were great to work with! Thank you also for making the whole process a pleasant experience.”

Jim & Joanne Malmo, Ed Springman

“Doing business with BizAdvocates.com was a win/win situation. The communication lines were always open and necessary adjustments were made to accommodate 3 different parties in 3 different locations in 2 states. Joe paralleled very well with both the buyers and the sellers.”

Len & LaWanna Mazon
Service Contractor

“The BES Appraisal really helped us understand what we were buying. We highly recommend BizAdvocates.com....they are pros. Our sale went so smooth and easy we were afraid something had been forgotten!”

Todd & Billie Jo Clark
Service Contractor

“Joe is a very honest person. From analyzing the value of our business to meeting with CPA's and attorneys... he was always willing to help in any way he could.”

Warren & Cheri Moore
Florist / Gifts

“A year ago we tried to sell our business ourselves. We went through a 10-month mess of waiting and paperwork, only to have the whole deal fall apart. With just a few weeks of listing with BizAdvocates.com, we had a qualified buyer, and the transaction was completed. Joe and his great staff care more for the people than the sale. What a difference it makes to trust a professional.”

Mike & Julie Richards
Retail

“Long after the sale is made, Joe's on the job. If there are problems, he's there to do his best to resolve them. This is the toughest test of a consultant. Joe, thanks for being there, past, present and future!”

Barbara Harp
Manufacturer

“After failing to sell my business on my own, I turned it over to a professional (Joe Camp), who found a buyer right away. I highly recommend him!”

Toni Morgan
Florist

“Joe and his staff were well prepared to go above and beyond the normal to find a business that suited our needs and liking. He also helped us do the necessary paperwork and inspection to finalize the sale.”

Brian & Mary Davis
Service Industry

“In our opinion, Joe and his staff were very courteous and helpful. By using them, we had a clean, effective fast track into owning our own business.”

Jerry & Judy Paisley

“I was very pleased by the service given to me by both Joe and his staff. Everything was handled very professionally. I highly recommend them to anyone considering buying, or selling a business.”

Torn Kuhlman

“We had a close family-held business. We were very pleased with the professionalism, integrity and speed of the sale. We would recommend Joe and the BizAdvocates.com staff to anyone interested in selling their business.”
