Testimonials from Clients for Salim Dada
"...we didn't think it was possible for our manager to purchase
the company, given the current credit environment. Your amazing
tenacity and your knowledge of accounting, financing, and environmental
issues helped tremendously to bring it to a successful close."
— John Hanson, Allied
Technical Services, Inc., May 2010
“…without your contacts in the banking industry,
understanding of structured financing, and the patience to explain
this to lenders, I am not sure if the buyer would have ever been
able to get financing! Even the banks learned from you!”
— Craig Robinson, Graphic
Impressions, Inc., July 2009

contact even long before we were ready to sell. I hope many others

would not be able to make such a statement” —

highly recommend Salim Dada to any party interested in pursuing
the sale or purchase of a new business”

Daniel Samson, Dankens Gourmet
Ice Creams, March 2000
“Salim impressed us as the most professional. His valuation
of our company most closely matched that of our accountant, and
he was very easy to work with honoring all of our requests. He
not only found a buyer, but also helped the buyer get financing
so we were not left carrying a large contract… the process
took less than six months from the time we listed with Salim until
the deal was closed”
