Codiligent

Description

Growing up I loved stories of pioneers, archaeologists, explorers, and inventors - the people who were curious, persistent, adventurous, rugged individualists who were willing to take calculated risks to pursue a dream, and overcame long odds, seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and continual setbacks before achieving their goals. Today I see the spirit of my childhood heroes embodied in the American entrepreneur. Codiligent business brokers was founded in Portland, Oregon in 2003 to provide quality business sale representation to owners of small and lower mid-market companies. My goal was to help entrepreneurs achieve an appropriate reward for their years of hard work, persistence, and risk-taking by providing them with the quality service that larger companies have come to expect when dealing with investment banks like JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs, but which is often out of reach for small companies dealing with business brokers.

While some CPAs may have the skill and knowledge to successfully sell a company, that's not their primary focus. If your CPA does taxes then there's a high probability that if your business takes a normal amount of time to sell, that it will overlap with your CPAs very busy tax season and it won't get the attention it requires. In contrast, all that Codiligent business brokers does is help people buy and sell businesses - this is what we specialize in. It's not just our primary focus . . . it's our ONLY focus! However, your CPA should definitely be part of the exit team. You will want them to help you make sure your financial records are accurate and in good order, and understand and provide input on the tax implications of anticipated deal structures.

I have worked as both an attorney and a CPA on M&A transactions for over 20 years in Portland and Manhattan. During that time, Eric has brokered a number of transactions for my clients. His superior grasp of the economic, tax, legal and psychological dynamics of these transactions makes him an effective advocate for the client. Eric’s creativity has helped craft solutions to roadblocks in ways that have left both buyers and sellers feeling they have been treated fairly and professionally. He’s attentive to detail, responsive, and has great interpersonal skills. This instills confidence and respect in both clients and other members of the professional team. He seems to have a way of keeping people working together in a positive direction. I always feel like we have a better chance of getting a deal done when Eric brokers the transaction.

Are you a business owner? If so, w e recognize that you have taken considerable risk, overcome long odds, and delivered significant value not only by providing innovative products and services to customers, but also by creating jobs, adding to the economic viability of vendors and suppliers, perhaps supporting non-profits, and paying taxes.

A business sale is one of the largest and most important transactions of many business owners' lives. Codiligent business brokers has the skill, knowledge, experience, and integrity necessary to manage the surprisingly complex and nuanced business sale process. In addition to utilizing unique and proprietary methods of selling businesses, one of the secrets of our success is that we work with only a limited number of clients, allowing for the necessary time, energy, and attention to provide exceptional service to every business owner represented. This results in the highest probability of a successful business sale outcome. Codiligent business brokers has successfully provided representation throughout the country from its headquarters in Portland, Oregon.
