Sun Acquisitions, LLC Review

My partners and I interviewed multiple brokers before hiring Sun Acquisitions to sell our first business. Domenic and the Sun Acquisitions team clearly stood out from the competition with their in-depth knowledge and experience with all aspects of buying and selling businesses. The entire Sun team was very effective in evaluating our financials, preparing a valuation relative to market conditions and effectively marketing our business. Selling a company requires a team of experienced professionals guiding you along a dynamic and challenging path. Domenic and the entire Sun Acquisitions team have been the most professional team of experts that I have ever worked with and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell or buy a business.

I worked with Sun as a buyer of a business, and both Larry and Domenic provided invaluable advice. With their combined years of experience, two minutes of their time could save weeks of delay. They also were able to recommend transactional attorneys and accountants, which might not seem like a big deal. But after working with a multitude of attorneys on this deal, it's obvious you need people with transactional expertise. Sun Acquisitions provides buyers, and sellers, with every needed resource to get deals done as quickly as possible. Highly, highly recommended.

From the initial business assessment interview to the sale closing.... the team of professionals at Sun Acquisitions demonstrated competence, experience and a genuine desire for a successful transaction for all parties. I highly recommend them as the first choice for your business sale or merger.

Sun Acquisitions brokered the sale of two of our businesses in 2018. It was a sale that was met with many different challenges from various third parties who were involved, but Joe, Rich, and Dom were always persistent, attentive, and responsive. We couldn't have gotten to the finish line without their expertise and professionalism.

Not even sure where to begin. I guess I will start with Dom. Working with Dom was easy. I expressed my needs and he worked me through the process. Once I was to the 2nd step of the Sale of my Business I worked with Burt. Burt found many interested buyers and we had 2 that were very very serious. The last serious buyer that Burt had actually helped me sell the business to someone else. I won't go into those details but without Burt and all his hard work I would have not been able to sell my business in the time frame we had allotted. In the final phase of the sale I worked with Joe and Burt. I can't say enough about how hard they both worked for weeks and weeks on every detail making sure every i was dotted and t was crossed. I highly recommend Sun Acquisitions and would rate them at 10 Stars if I was able.

Sun Acquisitions, particularly Burt Evans and Joe Beer, were an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only did Sun Acquisitions sell our family company, but they sold it in May 2020 during the height of the pandemic, with five offers and for more than we were asking. Their team is dedicated to selling your business and make you feel as if you are their only client. The value we received was well worth the fees we paid.

We interviewed and researched five companies before we selected Sun Acquisitions and we keep saying Choosing Sun Acquisitions to sell our company was one of our best business decisions.

Tony Schiappa was great and prompt to work with through out the process of my purchase. This was my first acquisition and he provided suggested contacts to help finalize the deal. I would recommend them to anyone.

I've worked with Sun Acquisitions for over 5 years on the Buy side. I've worked with 4-5 people in their organization. I've looked at several companies to purchase through them and executed on one. Their process and speed of delivery of information met all my expectations as a buyer. They were all professional throughout the process.

Sun Acquisitions handled the sale of my fathers business beginning in January of 2017. We went through 4 possible buyers. Sun was upbeat positive and helpful through every failed transaction. We finally closed on July 31 2018. We would not have been able to achieve this without them. I would HIGHLY recommend them. They went way above the call of duty.

I worked with Sun Acquisitions on the buy-side. They were incredibly helpful and professional. They kept everything on track, level set both sides on expectations and process, and were proactive in alerting everyone to common hangups, bumps, or issues. They held my hand through due diligence and pointed me to legal, accounting, banking, and insurance options since I had never done this before and didn't know what I needed. The process was so smooth I could not believe it! Thank you!

I highly recommend Sun Acquisitions if you are looking to sell your business. Sun expertly handled the sale of my business during a key transition point in my life and I am forever grateful at the professionalism and expertise they displayed in all phases of the sale process . Top notch!!

I was on the purchase end in dealing with Sun Acquistions. Grant it, Sun Aquisition is working for the seller, but from a buyer s point of view they facilitated the purchase fantastically. In particular, Joe Beer was especially helpful. He is very professional, responsive, and was able to tactfully bridge gaps to solidify the deal. I would certainly work with Joe again.

As a buyer of lower middle-market businesses, we enjoyed working with the Sun Acquisitions team. They ran an efficient process and were very professional. Hopefully, we will have an opportunity to work with them again.

Top notch buy side services. Larry, Joe, and Dom were fantastic. Professional, proactive, and always with our best interests in mind. Would highly recommend their services.

Buying or selling a business is a lengthy and highly detailed process. I worked with Tony Schiappa on the listing. He found a qualified buyer pretty quickly. I then worked with Joe to help guide the process and finalize the sale. Everyone I dealt with at Sun could not be more professional and knowledgeable. Don't even talk to anyone else. These are the people you want to work with!

I recently purchased a business where Sun Acquisitions represented the seller. Although they did not work for or represent me, they were very professional and ethical in their dealings. In particular, Burt Evans was great to work with on the front end and Joe Beer was crucial to keeping everything moving forward. Could not have got this closed without them. I highly recommend them to anyone considering a business purchase or sale.

The meetings with Dominic and the staff of Sun Acquisitions were very productive and informative. After listing the sale of my business with Sun Acquisitions, the sales process moved quickly and multiple offers were received within a short time frame. I would highly recommend this brokerage firm for buyers and/or sellers..

Having worked with Sun Acquisitions for over 10 years, I can attest to their trustworthiness, proactive approach and dedication to their clients. They understand what it takes to get deals done while upholding the highest standards of professionalism.

From initial contact to the closing table, working with Sun was a joy. Their people and processes help you stay on point to close the deal quickly.

Sun Acquisitions has just helped my husband and I sell our landscaping business. This was especially challenging due to the short time frame we gave them to make the sale. We relied heavily on Matt Brunstrum, our advisor, and his expertise throughout the process. He worked diligently for us. And no matter what questions we had, he was there to answer them and guide us. Once we had a buyer, Joe Beer, our closing coordinator helped us the rest of the way. He handled any hiccups that came along during the closing process. We are so very grateful for all the hard work this team put forth to help my husband and I move onto the next chapter of our lives through the sale of our business.

I have both referred business to Sun Acquisitions and found them to be responsive, highly credible and able to get positive results

Partnering with Sun Acquisitions to help with the sale of my franchise fitness studio was the most important and best decision I made. Without their guidance, support, experience and in-depth knowledge of the entire process, I would have been completely lost.

With this being my first business sale, I would have NEVER imagined there being so many steps to navigate through and variables to consider. Sun Acquisitions made each phase smooth and seamless and prevented me from otherwise feeling confused or overwhelmed.

I could call them (my main point of contact was Joe Beer) at any time for any reason. Joe would answer my calls at 7:00 in the morning or 9:00 at night, even on weekends. He would give me as much time as I needed to answer all of my questions. Whenever I emailed him or texted him, he would literally reply back within minutes. He always had an answer for all of my questions and his advice proved to be spot on for every situation. I have never worked with anyone quite as responsive or knowledgable as Joe Beer.

Their entire team is dedicated to helping you each step of the way. In addition to their instrumental advice, they also have connections to trusted contacts that are critical to the sale, such as lenders for your buyer or transactional attorneys for all the necessary agreements.

Sun Acquisitions will not only maximize your business value, but they will minimize your expenses related to the sale. I would 100% recommend their services for any person buying or selling a business. They are seasoned professionals that care about their clients and have your best interest in mind.

Sun Acquisitions receives a 12 on a scale of 1 to 10. They were timely, forthright, and provided guidance throughout the entire process. Could not be more pleased, and highly recommend their professional team.
Thank you Sun Acquisitions!!

As a Business Coach, I work with a lot of businesses. When my clients are looking to buy or sell a business, I always recommend them to Sun Acquisitions. Their advisors are very professional and have a great system that they use to maximize the value of your business when you sell, so that you get top dollar for it. If you are looking to buy a business, their process will help you buy the right business, so that you can take that business to the next level and maximize your ROI.

If you are looking to buy or sell a business, don't hesitate to call Sun Acquisitions. You'll be glad that you did!

As a banking partner with Sun Acquisitions, we have found everyone involved with the organization to be of the highest level of professionalism. Very relationship focused and consultative with their clients.

Sun Acquisitions represented me with my business sale. They were incredibly professional, communicative, and diligent. They have an entire team that helps throughout the process, but I primarily worked with Burt Evans and Joe Beer. Both were excellent to work with from first contact to closing of the transaction. I'd highly recommend Sun Acquisitions to anyone looking to buy or sell a business.

Sun Acquisitions handled the sale of one of my wife's businesses. They were extremely professional, well prepared and did a fantastic job of marketing the business. We worked with Burt Evans who's professionalism and strong business experience really helped my wife feel comfortable and happy with the entire process. In the end, they were able to sell the business to a perfect Buyer and my wife was very happy with the final offer they negotiated for her.

We would highly recommend Sun Acquisitions if you are looking to buy or sell a business.

Toby and Joe got our business sold in a very professional manner. Anyone who thinks they can market and sell their own business will regret the day when they see how much expertise is involved in a successful closing. Negotiations and events move at a fast speed as the date of sale approaches....Sun Acquisitions prove they have the skill set needed for a successful finish.

Domenic and Sun Acquisitions did a terrific job helping me and my business.

Extreme professionalism as an M&A advisor and business broker. Would recommend to anyone in Chicagoland looking to buy or sell, work on an exit plan or properly valuate their firm.

I had the privilege of working with Joe Beer and Burt Evans - 2 people I would highly recommend. I m very picky on who I work with in regards to responsiveness and quality of work. These two exceeding my expectations and will always use and recommend them for all future projects.

My acquisition of a second business was far from straight forward due to requirements outside of the scope for Sun Acquisitions. Each step of the way, Sun had professionals reassuring both seller and buyer that this was not unusual and we all needed to remain persistent. In the end we got across the finish line and all parties were satisfied. I will use them in the future.

The sale of my family business by Sun Acquisitions was handled with great attention to detail and professionalism. Dominic and Joe were able to secure multiple offers within a month and then made sure that the buyers were legitimate. In the end , I couldn't have hoped for a better outcome!

Sun handled the sale of my business in 2010. The business was a school franchise teaching people how to trade stocks, options and futures. Domenic's team were great to work with and they found multiple buyers for my business and I ended up getting an all-cash deal at my asking price. I ended up setting the high-watermark at the time for price of a franchise sold.

Sun Acquisitions Chicago was a great resource and great to work with selling our spa franchise business. Would highly recommend

I know a ton of Chicago area business brokers and M&A advisors. The mergers and acquisitions experts at Sun Acquisitions are my favorites, and here's why. They are very practical in their approach, follow through on ever detail of a deal, help you navigate tricky due diligence issues that arise and, ultimately, they get the job done. I have recommended them for buyside and sellside assignments, as well as for exploratory exit planning. Everyone I have referred has later thanked me. Strongly recommend.

I purchased a business with the assistance of Sun Acquisitions 2 years ago. As a first time buyer, I can assure you Sun Acquisitions handled the acquisition professionally. They guided me through the process and provided great resources and advice. They were always available for questions. I would highly recommend Sun Acquisitions to anyone considering the purchase of a small business or selling one.

Joe and Burt did a terrific job throughout the acquisition process. The length of time was much longer than expected ( not due to Sun, Joe or Burt) for the transaction to complete and they helped with us every step of the process. From a buyer's perspective, they were great! Four stars.

Sun Acquisitions represented our business very professionally and provided needed market depth, sale advisory and guidance through the entire process. Our business was a professional services agency and we spent hours of our personal time planning how to facilitate the right strategy for a sale of our company.
After deciding we needed professional advice we engaged Sun Acquisitions. Dominic Rinaldi and his team diligently managed our transaction and process from the initial review meeting to final sale. We found the right buyer and wouldn t have made it through the process without Sun s experience and market capabilities.

As an attorney, I have worked on several transactions where Sun Acquisitions represented either the seller or the buyer. Domenic Rinaldi and his team are very professional, ethical, easy to work with, and get good results. I believe both sellers and buyers would be well served by Sun Acquisitions.

The Matot company was extremely impressed with Domenic and the entire Sun Acquisition team during our recent M&A expedition. We utilized Sun to both identify and broker our first deal. We will certainly work with them again as we pursue additional opportunities. Highly recommended.
