PROFESSIONAL REFERENCES
Quietly selling private companies since 1988


"In my 43 years of business experience, I have never dealt with anyone who has shown more professional standards and abilities than Mr. Tulio. I have a very high regard and opinion of him."

A. Herndon, President
A. W. Herndon Oil Co., Inc.

"I am certain that without your very active involvement, this sale would not have taken place. Your active approach towards the sale of the business led to your selection. Other brokers I spoke with said that they would list my business in a national listing service and wait for replies. Their estimated time for results was between 6 months and one year. Many of them also tried to sell, or required additional valuation services that would have led to additional expense and delay. You described your approach and indicated that you would know in 60 days if there were a buyer…we had a buyer within a 60-day period. I found your approach to be straight forward, aggressive and logical."

G. Waleke, President
Redi Carpet

"I have worked with Roy Tulio in both the buy and sell sides of transactions. I found Roy to be a very knowledgeable individual with very high integrity. He knows his business and he knows how to help parties negotiate a transaction on a win/win basis. I look forward to a continued long-term relationship with him."

E. Ellis, Partner
Coopers & Lybrand

"I would like to stop a minute and recognize a job well done! You truly exceeded our expectations, from the time we signed the agreement to sell (business), through each potential purchaser, down to the final sale, your ethics, integrity and honesty far surpassed my experience with brokers in the past. I have worked with many brokers during the 37 years I've been in this business, but this is the first time I can say that I have been truly delighted with a broker's performance. We started our Continuos Improvement (CI) journey two years ago and I have had four years of study on CI, so when I can say that I am delighted, it is the highest compliment I can give regarding your performance. This is much more than regular support service you have provided - this is enhanced service. Thank you so much for a job well done and for exceeding our expectations."

L. Craft, President
Admiral Linen and Uniform Service

"I was truly amazed that it took only three weeks to complete the sale from listing to closing...you definitely have a large resource of potential buyers. It was a pleasure to do business with a real professional."

M. Nesbit, Partner

"I guided and operated my business for 44 years. My desire to sell my business and retire was accomplished through the efforts of Roy Tulio. I chose Mr. Tulio after checking several references, to handle the marketing of my business. He came highly recommended. He conducted the successful sale of my business in a professional, astute manner. He is thorough, dependable, reliable and honest."

W. Holden, President
Holden's Inc.

"In my dealings with Roy Tulio, I found him to be reliable, professional, honest, and very good at what he does. Many times during both the selling and buying process he has saved the deal from falling through just by his direct tactful intervention. He always went far beyond what was expected of him and I am sure that he would be an asset to any company that was fortunate enough to have him working for them. He is the best business broker I have known and I highly recommend him to anyone selling a business."

B. Baldwin, Director
Texas Laundry and Dry Cleaning Association

"I have had many dealings in the past with all kinds of business brokers in the US and Europe as well, but Mr. Tulio has proved himself to be by far the most helpful and efficient person to deal with. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Tulio to anyone interested in acquiring or selling a business through his good offices."

C. May, President

"I submit this letter as a testimonial to my complete satisfaction with your brokerage services. If and when I decide to put my other business on the market, I will not hesitate to contract your services. Please give my name and number to any prospective client. The quality of your services would be a pleasure to discuss."

J. Burnett, President
Brazoria Industrial Laundry

"I have 2 months now to reflect on the sale you negotiated.  Your professionalism made what could have been a difficult time into just a period of adjustments. No matter what the obstacle or obstruction on the way, you had a reasonable response that both parties could live with. Your optimistic and pleasant manner helped immensely and I believe that in time both sides had increasing faith in your reliability and integrity. You had the facts and figures at your fingertips and your prodigious memory made the negotiations easier. I don't think a person who did not have your experience, patience and sensitivity could have completed this deal. Thanks very much for your efforts and in the field of business brokers, I would never think of using anyone but you."

I. Gordon, President

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your help and support during my acquisition of Troubadour. Your expertise in these matters and ability to coordinate negotiations were invaluable to me. If, in the future, I find myself or someone I know to be in need of the type of services that American Business Investments provides, I will think of you."

L.R. Pfeiffer, President
Pfeiffer & Son, Inc.



"Thank you, Roy, for your valuable assistance in selling our business.  The approach you recommended and executed paid off.  I very much appreciated your taking control of the entire process which went beyond my expectations.  In my experience with mergers & acquisitions, it is pleasantly rare to see a complex transaction such as this go smoothly and effectively, specially given the fact that both buyer and seller never even met.  You represented our best interest from the get-go.  This has saved me valuable time and money.  If an opportunity presents itself again, rest assured you will hear from me."

R. Seifried, General Partner
SOL, LP

 

"You helped me considerably with representing my client, the United States Small Business Administration as Receiver.....This was a very difficult assignment and you had your arms around the entire process from start to finish.  The market research you performed was very thorough...I've dealt with business brokers in the past and truly I am impressed by your level of professionalism, persistence, and working diligently the issues to achieve a win-win solution for both parties.  I am convinced that we sold the facility to the right buyer at the right price."

G. Diachenko, Managing Director
Team Advisors

"I would like to take a moment to thank you for your help in our successful acquisition of the business.....the constructive compromises you offered all contributed to making this deal happen.  I admire your ability to get things done swiftly and effectively.  It's always a pleasure working with somebody like you who maintains a high level of integrity, professionalism, and dedication."
