What It’s Like to Work Together

Authentic perspectives from business owners I’ve helped successfully reach their goals.

This was the first time buying an existing business for me, so it was kind of stressful. Steve would send me possible deals that fit the criteria I was looking for. We would discuss the pros/cons of each deal, until we agreed on one that we both thought had a good risk vs. reward balance. Steve set up a meeting with the seller, and we discussed the business in detail and came to an agreement on terms and conditions later that day. After we agreed on the terms, Steve sent me a detailed check list on what I needed to do before the closing. This was very helpful from the accounts I needed to open and the business entities etc. Steve answered any questions/ concerns I had during the process and was at the closing to make sure we understood everything we were signing. I would highly recommend Steve Lee and Sunbelt. thanks again.” – Bill M.
