"My partner and I had been thinking about selling for two years when COVID hit. Although our business was minimally impacted, we weren't sure what to expect and a bit anxious about the state of the market. Ryan was referred by our CPA and patiently walked us through the selling process and where deals can go south. He encouraged us to focus on operating the business while he attended to the valuation, marketing package, and buyer qualification. Less than 5 months later we had three qualified buyers and an LOI. Working with Ryan has been energizing and helped us stay on track through this process - he knows his craft. Strongly recommend him to other owners considering a new chapter."

"Ryan moved quickly to help me assess the value of my business and how to position it to maximize my net at closing. Professional and action oriented!"

"STOP LOOKING... As a CEO of a small business, I have strong opinions on people and how things should be done. If you're looking for someone that is knowledgeable, responsive, and takes the time to explain everything so you can make the right decision, he's your guy. He helped evaluate my business, provided guidance in options for the business’s future, as well as helped lead challenging calls with potential investors. This was all done while keeping his hours to a minimum. The value was different there!"

"Ryan did a great job of analyzing our financial information and deriving a valuation based upon other like deals in our niche. We use his information to prepare us for M & A talks with a large, global company and it was extremely insightful."

"Ryan was brought on for a small project in which he was hired to offer his expertise for a potential acquisition. Not only was Ryan able to provide comps for similar deals and help put together a range of possible valuations backed by data, he was also able to apply his unique experience which was very helpful in giving us perspective on whether we should move forward with the deal or not. Ryan is very easy to work with, maintains a sense of urgency, and is super professional – that said, we very much look forward to working with him again in the future."

"I worked with Ryan to conduct a business valuation of one of the companies I am partnered with. He was very detailed in explaining his process and diligently walked me through the results of his research. Ryan was great at setting realistic expectations from the beginning and always responded to any correspondence in a timely manner. I would definitely hire him again should the need a rise and would highly recommend anyone looking for business valuation consider working with Washington Business Brokers."

"Ryan is a fantastic resource! My partner and I found Ryan when we were looking to purchase a couple of businesses. Ryan steadily combed through the docs with us, educating us on how to review businesses for sale. He pointed out a few critical elements that we would never have caught ourselves! Ryan was thorough and methodical, but also very patient and respectful. I never felt like he was condescending or demeaning, which is important to me as a woman in business. We learned so much! And afterwards, we felt empowered and confident in making an informed business decision. Ryan will be the first person we go to with any business or financial review queries we have in the future, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for the same!"

"Ryan has been extremely helpful in several business transactions for us. I can’t recommend him enough! He is very knowledgeable and professional and we plan to continue to work with him in the future."

"Ryan was a pleasure to work with. His ability to interpret our financials and gain an understanding of our operation was extremely impressive as we work in a somewhat abstract industry. He was also able to concisely communicate his thoughts and rationale for the decisions and assumptions made. I would certainly recommend his services and hopefully we will cross paths again in the future."

"I was recommended to Ryan and Washington Business Brokers through a mutual business connection. From the very beginning, Ryan has been nothing but helpful and honest. He provides a very clear and easy to understand valuation. I would 100% recommend WBB and Ryan to any small business owner!"
