Testimonials

John R. Shirrell, President, AAA Tool & Die, Inc. (Seller)

“In February 2014, Max Friar and I closed the successful sale of my company, AAA Tool and Die Company, of South Bend, Indiana, in an all cash transaction. Max is a closer. Whenever we faced a challenge or problem, Max answered the challenge and solved the problems. If you are considering selling your manufacturing business, Max will successfully take you from start to finish. Don’t ‘Pass Go’ without Max.”

Karen Griggs, Former Owner, Jadian Enterprises (Seller)

“Bill Evans successfully brokered a deal to sell our specialty software company. He was available morning, noon & night (weekends included) to answer questions and provide valuable insights. He was honest & upfront, and was willing to give us a reality check even if we didn’t want to hear it… and remained calm and upbeat through the inevitable ups & downs of the sale process. In the end, he brought the transaction to a positive conclusion. I can honestly say that without Bill’s unwavering commitment, it’s doubtful we would had such a great success. If you’re even considering the sale of your company, I highly recommend contacting Bill to discuss your options.”

“After a number of unsuccessful rounds of trying to sell our business with other brokers, we were introduced to Max Friar and Calder Capital. We really appreciated Max’s honesty, energy and enthusiasm.

We are very pleased to recommend Max and his company to anyone seeking to sell their company. Max clearly goes above and beyond what others are willing to do to bring success to their clients.”

Randee Murphy, Owner, West Michigan Delivery Service (Seller)

“Our business was started by my husband 37 years ago. We reached a point in our life when we decided to take a different direction and decided to sell our business. It was not an easy decision.

We knew that we would need guidance in selling the business and were referred to Calder Capital. From our first meeting with Calder, we knew it was a good match. Max and Bill projected confidence and outlined a plan of action that made sense to us. During all aspects of the process, Bill has been kept us completely involved and up to speed. Bill has represented our business and us in a professional, confident and guiding manner – while still being respectful of our thoughts and wishes. When the sale encountered challenges, Bill had a suggestion, solution or a plan.

I would recommend Calder Capital and Bill Evans to any business – large or small – to find a buyer that makes the most sense to all involved.”

Mike & Gwen Branch, Founders, The Rental Branch – St. Joseph, MI (Seller)

“Ghazey & Max, we just wanted to say thank you again for everything you did for us over the last several months. It is hard to believe that we signed on with Calder in January, went public in March and then had a very successful close in July. We certainly had some interesting moments along the way and are very happy with the outcome. It was a real joy working with you both and we enjoyed all the interesting conversations we had along the way. We would not hesitate to highly recommend Calder Capital! Thanks again!”

Dave Hunt, Founder, Hunt Movers (Two Men & A Truck) – Grand Rapids, MI (Seller)

“While selling my business, Bill Evans displayed an amazing depth of knowledge of not only the accounting and business side of what I needed from the sale of my company, but knew of the emotional and personal investment that was being sold as well. His experience as a former business owner as well as his financial background gives him a unique perspective of what it takes to sell your business as well as what you NEED when you do so. He connected with what I was looking for financially and helped maintain realistic goals while constantly looking out for my best interest from the buyer.”

Bill was always easy to contact, be it via email, text or phone, and saw possibilities I never even recognized to facilitate not only a timely sale, but a profitable one! I would recommend his services to anyone looking to sell their company – because Bill Evans realizes that it isn’t just a company – it is the result of your hard work and sweat – your BUSINESS.”
