We Are Relationship-Builders

I appreciate the level of detail 3PG analyzes – I have used several other consultants in the past, and their presence just created more work for me. Our relationship with 3PG is more of a partnership. Together we are able to examine our company’s strengths and weaknesses, and then rally the team to execute a strategic plan. I appreciate the level of detail 3PG analyzes including cash flow, risk management, access to capital, profit requirements, costs and process.

With the help of the 3PG team I was able to purchase the business from my partner and have since tripled the size of the company. 3PG has helped us at every level including planning, financing, personnel, deal structure and growth. We continue to rely on them today in all aspects of our financial and operational planning.

Maximum value – My partner and I wanted to exit our business and did not know where to start. We heard Jeff speak at an industry conference and I knew we needed to go that direction. The 3PG team helped us position, value, search, execute and close our deal at maximum value. I would highly recommend Three Point Group.
