Here is a sampling of client testimonials about Touchstone's guidance through successful business transfers.
I want to thank you for the great job you did in selling my family's company. As you know, I went into this knowing very little about the process and it has been amazing to see all there is to selling a business. You opened my eyes to the synergistic and strategic value it might have to other rubber companies throughout the country. After a nationwide search, we actually found a very compatible company in Wisconsin that was willing to pay far more than anyone operating it in Connecticut. It was not an easy search, but well worth the time and effort.
Edward Kirik, President
Syntex Rubber Corporation
Thank you for helping me with the sale of my insurance agency. As you know, this was my first insurance agency that I started, and have built up over the past nine years. The process of deciding to sell the agency, and then finding the right buyer, has been emotionally challenging. I appreciate you taking the time to introduce me to the various buyers that were interested in buying the agency, and in negotiating the deal that I wanted. In the end, the Pawson Group is a great fit for me going forward. This sale will allow me to achieve all of the goals that we set out to accomplish from the beginning.
Your service and communication throughout the process was excellent. You listened to me and worked through the goals that I wanted to accomplish. We met with buyers that were a good fit and negotiated price and terms that we set out to accomplish. Throughout the process you stayed in constant communication, and you did what you said you would do. Thank you for your hard work.
Steve Hunt, President
Hunt Agency, Inc.
I want to thank you for your services in selling my business. As you know, it was relatively easy for you to identify the "right" buyer who was willing to pay the most for the business. You were also able to get the buyer on contract relatively quickly. Getting to the closing table however, was an "adventure" to say the least! Your creativity and dogged determination to close the sale were really tested but we came through it together.
Throughout the process I found you to be knowledgeable, professional, and very accessible. Especially during the weeks before closing, I appreciated your constant attention to my transaction and the fact that you kept me informed on a daily basis about our progress or lack of it.

I would recommend Touchstone Advisors to anyone wishing to buy or sell a business. After discussing my needs and requirements, they explained exactly what they would do to sell my business. Then he did what he said he would do. He followed through with everything on a timely basis, and was always accessible when a question came up. Touchstone Advisors worked hard at getting the right buyer, and the right offer.
William Russell, President
Mediquip, Inc.
You were practical and perceptive in assessing the merits of our partnership profile for, as it were publication and distribution to potential purchasers. And when there were parties interested in partnering with us or purchasing us, you were persuasive yet polite when in discussion with them. I appreciate your perseverance and persistence throughout what became a lengthy process.
Should any person ask me about you and your firm, I certainly would recommend you highly as a talented individual. This is written in all sincerity.

Russell & Dawson Architecture & Engineering
Never having sold a business before, your attention to detail sure came in handy, not to mention the environmental problems no one could have foreseen. You steered us through every problem with ease and always made sure it was solved and corrected. It was refreshing to find someone who was as dedicated as we were in selling our business.
Nancy Sears, President
Best Buy Oil Co., Inc.
Touchstone Advisors helped us to purchase our second business. Without your help, I am sure that the sale would have never gone through. With Touchstone's guidance and suggestions we were able to come to a place that benefited both the seller and ourselves.
Touchstone was never difficult to reach and always returned our calls promptly. If we ever decide to sell either of our businesses, or purchase another, I would definitely go through Touchstone Advisors, confident that I would be completely satisfied with the end result.
Paula Goodwin, Vice President
Abbey Printing Co.
Thank you for your work with us on acquiring the Hunt Agency. From our initial conversations and meetings, you have been a true professional to work with. We are very excited to have Steve Hunt as a producer, and look forward to developing a long term relationship with Steve. His business is an excellent fit for us, and we think will have a very positive short-term and long-term impact to our overall agency.
We appreciate your candor and persistence in making this deal happen. I know at the end there were a few tense moments with lawyers and final terms. You did a great job, and I look forward to working with you in the future.
Joe Dendas, Vice President
The Pawson Group
It was a true pleasure working with the professionals at Touchstone Advisors, LLC in the acquisition of the insurance operations of the Neiditz Companies. From the very beginning, you were responsive, accessible and honorable. We have made a number of acquisitions over the years and having your firm handle the details made for a smooth and fair transaction. The proof is in the tremendous fit that this acquisition has made for all involved and we look forward to working with you in the future.
