Don’t Take Our Word For It

I am delighted to share the exceptional experience I encountered using the services of Catchfire for the sale of my business. From the outset, Catchfire’s professionalism, expertise, guidance and commitment to my M&A journey was truly commendable. Their insightful analysis of our business landscape and market trends allowed me to make informed decisions throughout the entire process of preparing and selling my business.

Catchfire was brought in to help resolve partnership issues at our company when my partner and I couldn’t agree on a strategic direction for our company. We went through a process and determined that the best solution was for me to buy out my partner. Catchfire helped with deal structure, negotiations, and financial structure of the deal.

They have been providing management guidance in the 2.5 years since and have had a strong positive impact helping us build a sustainable, growing business. We continue to work with them.

Gary Brownstone and I ended up working together through the process of restructuring our business. Our company had been in business for 19 years when I met Gary. We had struggled with ideas around managing our growth and HR challenges.

Gary has provided us amazing insight and ideas for many things. From helping to understand our cash, to finding the right time to hire someone, its been amazing to see how this help has allowed us to grow our business. Gary has a direct way of telling it as it is, which for me was needed and welcomed.

Working along side with Gary (which we continue to do) our business has grown from a 2 million a year business to a 5 million a year business in less than 2 years. Now of course that had to come with a lot of work from our end, but not for a second in my mind did we ever think we could grow this to what it is, without the help from the team at Catchfire.

From initial consultation, Derek demonstrated a profound understanding of our corporate issues, legal intricacies, and interpersonal dynamics inherent in our shareholder dispute. Derek's ability to objectively analyze the situation and propose strategic solutions was instrumental in facilitating productive discussions among stakeholders.

I would recommend Derek and Catchfire to any business facing shareholder disputes. Their expertise, professionalism, and unwavering dedication to achieving a fair resolution make them an invaluable partner in navigating the complexities of such challenges.

Catchfire was engaged by the seller for a company we acquired. Catchfire is unique in that its principals have been entrepreneurs and operators themselves. This experience combined with their deep Merger & Acquisition expertise made the deal possible despite a challenging macro-economic environment.

They were able to provide real insights that enabled us to get comfortable with the business’ underlying performance and find a transaction structure that worked for all parties. I felt they really had the seller and company’s best interest in mind. The transaction would not have happened without Catch-Fire’s expertise.

As a legacy-minded acquirer, this approach is invaluable to us. We deeply appreciate the thoughtful and dedicated service provided by the Catchfire team, which ensures outcomes that respect both the owners' and our vision and legacy.

We thought we were on a multi-year journey to grow our company and prepare it for sale when opportunity knocked and two interested acquirers from the US reached out to us. We were not at all prepared for the sales process, and fortunately Gary Brownstone and Catchfire were able to

respond immediately and help us navigate the negotiations, due diligence, and other elements of the sale from beginning to end. Catchfire was instrumental in helping us successfully navigate through a challenge we would have been unable to complete on our own.
