Testimonials
“Rick’s Buyer’s Toolkit was instrumental in our success purchasing a local business. The tools included gave us the knowledge and confidence to move forward after each step. Further, his expertise helping us through the buy side of the transaction was critical to successfully guiding our discussions, negotiations, and decisions.”
“…your material has been instrumental in helping us gain confidence in the business and your expertise has been critical when we have questions.”
AARON L./BUSINESS BUYER
“I purchased the Buyer’s Toolkit and it was a very worthwhile investment. It enabled us to conduct our due diligence as if we had been buying businesses for years. The financial and operational templates came with explanations as to why you do them, what to look for and were easy to understand. The Buyer’s Toolkit set us up for success and made us look like pro’s! There were guides that provided key questions to ask sellers. It truly is a toolkit and we will continue to use it going forward. I would highly recommend this toolkit for someone who is seriously looking to buy a business and wants to do it right!! Rick Krebs and his Buyer’s Toolkit is the real deal.”
