The prospectus Maine Business Brokers prepares is very professional. Some of Wall Street's biggest firms do not always prepare such a fine document.
N. Price Paschall, Partner, National Acquisition Search Service, 120 Wall Street, New York, NY From a letter written
You at Maine Business Brokers do the best offering package of any broker I have seen. As a buyer prospect, it gave me all the information I needed to decide whether or not I was interested. It saved the seller and me a lot of time. The offering package answered most questions right up front." "Without Maine Business Brokers, I really don't think I would have purchased this marina. I had a major dsagreement with the seller on price. Without the skilled negotiation by the brokers, it just wouldn't have happened." "Even though you (Maine Business Brokers) represented the seller, I found out that you were reasonable and understood what I needed to do to make it happen. There were many things to iron out before this would go forward - the agreement, the financing terms and the transition to new ownership." "You help a lot. I don't think that most people would imagine how complicated it can be, or how much you do to make it happen.
Dan Craffey, Buyer, Moose Landing Marina, Naples, ME
The article on valuation in the newsletter of Maine Business Brokers was well written, informative, accurate and hype free. It was simply elegant!

I was pessimistic when I asked Maine Business Brokers to help sell Spinney Creek Oyster Company in Eliot, Maine. We had lost money. I was tired of managing the business. We had few tangible assets. But they saw the potential and assembled a prospectus. They were able to lay out the cash flow and portray it as a dynamic, futuristic business.
Ian Walker, Seller, Spinney Creek Oyster Company, Eliot, Maine (now Spinney Creek Shellfish)
Maine Business Brokers is the best business brokerage firm in the country, if I judge from the very informative articles you have on your website. I am upset we can't hire you to market our business in Montana.

When Maine Business Brokers sold Aquaboggan Waterpark in Saco, Maine in 1999, it did so utilizing a new frontier in pairing business partners - the emerging corporate matchmaking sites on the Internet. Where else but on the Internet would an offshoot of an Iowa egg producer end up buying a water slide amusement park in Maine?

Like a Phoenix, Coveside Conservation Products, a leading manufacturer of wooden bird and bat houses endorsed by the Audubon Naturalist Society, rose from the ashes literally in August 1995 after in burned to the ground.
