Testimonials From Satisfied Clients

"I have wanted to sell my business for years and was worried that my competitors might find out I was for sale. The Hinsdale Group and Mike Stone blindly advertised my business for sale and found a qualified buyer to take over my business. Mike helped me understand the process of selling my business and how it all works. I would recommend The Hinsdale Group to anyone who is serious about selling their business."

Mike
Distribution Business

"Last fall, my husband and I were considering purchasing a business. After much research, we decided to work with Mike Stone and The Hinsdale Group. Mike was extremely knowledgeable about the inner workings of small businesses and was always professional and prompt in responding to our questions. He helped us to narrow down our options by evaluating the financials and day-to-day tasks in a very meaningful way. He was never pushy, but helped us to make our decision and negotiate an offer. We are now owners of a business we love! Mike has first-hand knowledge of what it takes to successfully run a small business. We are so grateful to him for helping us make an informed and logical decision and would highly recommend him as a business broker."

Tania
Buyer

"Mike Stone and The Hinsdale Group helped me understand the value of having a broker help sell my business. As a small business owner, ever dollar matters and The Hinsdale Group delivered! I had tried to sell my business in the past and had lots of interest but never was able to close the deal. The Hinsdale Group was able to weed through the weak buyers and show me a pool of buyers I didn't know existed. I was able to get top dollar in a down economy thanks to Mike Stone and the The Hinsdale Group. They really took the stress and guess work out of selling my business, I would recommend them to anyone looking to sell or buy and will use them again on my next venture."

Curt
Pizzeria Owner


"I appointed Mike Stone from The Hinsdale Group to help me with the course of selling my restaurant. Mike met with me and went over my business and shortly came up with a selling price we both settled for. After only two days from listing my business with Mike he brought me 3 qualified buyers. All of these buyers made strong and serious written offers within that same week. After choosing the best fit buyer, we quickly entered into an escrow, and then due diligence, and two weeks later, the deal closed! A month in total from signing with Mike to closing with the buyers! Mike was committed to helping me in the sale of my restaurant. He literally saved the deal when it ran up against a few difficult issues. He was good at communicating ideas and gave me very good professional tips for selling the restaurant and he also kept in contact with me at all times telling me how he was promoting the business and letting me know of any updates. Mike helped in negotiating the best sales price possible; above market value in my opinion. Thank you Mike Stone and The Hinsdale Group!"

Al
Fast Food Business Owner

"I am really very thankful for helping me to sell my business so fast. Your service is fast and quick. Within a few days from listing my business with you, you bring three to four prospective buyers. And about in less than month you introduce a buyer and we had contract signed with a buyer who was really very eager to get in to business as soon as possible. After franchise approval and training escrow closed smoothly. If it was not franchise business, we could have closed this escrow in month from signing contract. Your service is excellent and fee is reasonable I appreciate your help. Other brokers charge in advance and brings no results at all. I would definitely recommend your name to others who want to buy or sell their business in Chicago area."
