RE:  David Aldridge, Business Broker

This letter is to recommend the services of David Aldridge.  We had been trying to sell our store in Aloha on our own for three years before we hired David.  I had tried listing it in several newspapers, online services, in several publications and even with a Real Estate agent.  I had gotten plenty of interest, people who took up a lot of my time to talk to me, but no qualified buyers.

David sold our store within 60 days of listing- and for our full asking price!  The closing went very smoothly and we had our money right on time and when promised.

If you have any questions please feel free to give me a call, but I would highly recommend hiring David to help sell your business.

Sincerely,

Ben Hirschl, Owner Purified Water to Go

To Whom It May Concern:

Aldridge and Associates handled the sale of our business, Press Time Printing in a very professional, ethical, expedient manner.

They were there for us from start to finish, brought us a qualified buyer and helped us get through a couple of hurdles to the close.

Aldridge and Associates also got a higher price for our business than we had originally asked for by developing a value based listing kit which was very impressive.

I am very pleased about the results and would highly recommend their services.

Marty Rowe, General Partner, Press Time Printing

David listed and sold our Shipping/Business Services Company in just over two months.  David was very conscientious in getting detailed information about our business to potential buyers, quickly and completely.  He continued to keep us up to date with conversations with the buyers and was helpful in recommending counter-offers.  His efforts resulted in us getting exactly what we wanted originally.

 Best regards,

Bryon and Barbara Tolle

Dear David:

I want to thank you for the recent handling of the sale of my business.

For over sixteen years, I have used Aldridge & Associates to broker the sale of my businesses.  You have always proved to be a great asset; saving me much time and money.  This is invaluable to me since I am, as you know, a very busy person with all the traveling I do.

Once again, thank you.

Sincerely yours,

Barret VanZeipel

Dear David:

I wanted to thank you for selling my business.  I believe Powell Street Laundry is a solid business with potential for growth, but I also understand that the spendy lease was a significant hurdle for potential buyers.  Thanks to your persistence and setting the asking price at a strategic point, we got our sought sale price.  Because of your familiarity with the coin-op laundry industry, the entire sale process required minimal involvement on my part. Thanks for the good work.

Sincerely,

Gary McWhorter

Letter of Recommendation for David Aldridge and Aldridge & Associates

I had the honor and privilege of working with DAVID ALDRIDGE in a matter recently relating to the sale of my dry cleaning business.  He was highly recommended to me as someone in the business who could do the job, when I needed someone to help me sell mine.  I was told that he is proficient in selling businesses and has the knowledge and experience in this particular and specialized field.

 I was impressed the first time David came to see me to look over the operation.  He knew what to look for and what the important facts of such a sale were.  He was casual in his manner and was not pushy or demanding.  Soon he had my confidence and I asked him to list it.  He explained the details of such an endeavor to my satisfaction.

David did his best to advertise or promote the business and used all options available to him to make it known to any prospective buyer.  When a buyer came along, he was there to explain what was needed, who needed to do what and what the usual sales procedures are.  He did a lot of the “legwork” in talking to the escrow attorney and arranging the signing of the contract and sale of the business.

David was always pleasant and available when I need to call someone for an explanation or answer to my questions.  He did not tire or never was impatient when things got in the way of a quick closure of the sale.  His experience with these matters gave me confidence that he knew what was happening and that it was all in good hands.

David would be my choice again, if and when I needed an agent for another sale.  I am confident he has the expertise, knowledge and understanding to handle such an undertaking.

Yours sincerely,

Larry D. Megyesi
