I began working with Brian Dumas at Business Advisors Group in November, 2018, when he was representing the seller of a business I was interested in acquiring. He developed a very comprehensive and useful memorandum on the business, providing good detail and clear explanation of complex processes.
Brian was fast to respond to emails and facilitated a very productive initial meeting with the management team. He was tactful and facilitated a very candid conversation with the seller. As initial interest evolved into a genuine interest to acquire the business, Brian continued to offer candid and honest feedback. He stayed involved throughout the SBA loan process, but was not excessive or overly assertive in his involvement. When a personal tragedy affected the lender, Brian reached out to me personally to let me know about the situation.
We we able to close the transaction in July, 2019, and I credit Brian for his perseverance, honesty and candor. He has a large network of ethical and knowledgeable contacts - from lenders to attorneys. I came away from this transaction with the highest respect for Brian. I would work with him again without hesitation.
