Testimonials:

  • Testimonial 1: "Jim demonstrated, with his perseverance and professionalism, how to successfully manage the sale of our company Comercializadora del Midwest (CDM Foods), overcoming all the typical challenges of a negotiation of this magnitude. After months of hard work, we happily closed the sale of our company. We are grateful to Jim for his dedication and effort, as he not only captured the client's interest in our company but also helped us achieve our ultimate goal: selling our company to a client who met all our expectations. We highly recommend Jim for his seriousness, extensive experience, and deep respect for both parties involved in the process.

  • Testimonial 2: "Jim made the process of selling my business easier than I could have ever expected. As a small business owner, the idea of selling something you have put everything into for several years can be daunting. Jim helped me through every aspect of the process from understanding what to expect, getting the most return on my investment, and helping me through some of the unexpected hurdles and concerns along the way. If you are considering selling your business don't try to do it on your own and I highly recommend Jim/ Playbook!
