“I did not think that I needed another meeting this morning; but, was I ever wrong. John Hempsted’s concise and content-rich remarks … on BUY SELL AGREEMENTS was ‘one for the record books’. In short, he educated me on the ins and outs of them… at a considerable cost savings from using another service provider…. and stimulated me to create one for my business and family by 2Q 2013.”
G. A. Taylor Fernley, President & CEO – Fernley & Fernley
“As a business owner holding 100% of the stock in my company, John Hempstead’s presentation challenged me to understand that change is inevitable and to recognize that setting the process for valuing my business NOW would lead to reduced conflict and an equitable sale price at the time I choose to turn over the business to a successor or new owners. The upfront investment is small compared to the knowledge and peace of mind that the years of work will not be transferred without appropriate compensation to me and continued value to the new owners.”
Herb Hess, CEO – CNE, Inc.

“We worked with Mark in an arbitration concerning a business break-up. He displayed true expertise, preparing a valuation report which provided ample support for its conclusions and by testifying effectively at the arbitration, which assisted in winning a favorable outcome for the client. I’ll certainly engage Mark in the future.”
Robert Herskovits, Esq. – Gusrae, Kaplan, Bruno & Nusbaum PLLC
