After 22 years we determined to sell our business and realized we needed help. We felt only a particular segment of business buyers would be interested because of its unusual artistic characteristic. We engaged two companies to market our business, Great Western and ABC. GW prepared extensive documentation for prospective buyers but had no prospects to send it to, so it was never used, and they charged 3 times what ABC did. ABC gave us 14 prospects, 3 that came to Seattle to meet us from TX, IN and Chicago. Those 3 were interested but the sale of the business was to another prospect who found us through ABC services.
