Brent is the guy you want by your side when it comes to selling your business. Calm, collected and in control. He knows exactly how to navigate a business sale and has a wealth of knowledge and experience when it comes to driving business valuation and managing deals. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Brent over the last 2 years at Exit Advisory Group. He’s a fantastic Business Broker and Advisor, having built and exited his own company too. He's also a thoroughly decent individual and a great team player. Not only does Brent have solid expertise in business sales and acquisitions, but he also has a deep knowledge of the franchise industry.
