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.
• Chuck loved the process & rendered accounting for Business Brokerage firms
Then, on 1 deal, Seller books were a mess, Chuck fixed their financials. The Seller was so happy,
he asked Chuck to Sell his company-the broker agreed to this, Chuck started his 1st deal.
• On this 1st deal, Chuck arranged meetings with 42 buyers.
• After refusing to quit, the company finally sold.
That seller had many business acquaintances & referred many to Chuck to list & sell their business.
• Tangent Brokerage grew exclusively from word of mouth-zero advertising.
Chuck became an expert in finding hidden add backs & identifying nearly all hidden seller profits.
• We now have brokers with over 38 years of experience in Business Brokering.
