"...Salim Dada obtained my asking price and closed within
2010 so I could avoid the capital gains tax increase, both key points
for me.....Furthermore, the buyer Salim found has the ability to
take the business to the next level so I feel I am leaving the business
I built from the ground up in good hands."
