Broker Biography
Introduction
Tangent Brokerage-how we started:
• Chuck was a CPA @ (Big-8 Accounting firm) Touche Ross.
• Chuck exited & started a manufacturing business, then sold it.
Chuck then started & sold another-1 manufacturing, 1 distribution-2 total.
• Next, Chuck rendered accounting services to business brokers.
• On 1 broker deal, their books were an impossible mess.
• Chuck spent many long hours, cleaned up their accounting.
That Seller then asked Chuck to Sell his company & the broker agreed.
• Getting started was quite difficult; Chuck showed that 1st company to 42 buyers.
• After refusing to quit, the company finally sold.
That seller referred many people to Chuck to list & sell their business.
• Tangent Brokerage grew from word of mouth.
Chuck became an expert in finding hidden add backs & identifying seller profits.
• This also helped buyers understand the true profits of ownership.
• We now have brokers with over 38 years of experience in Business Brokering.
