Our Results

Our revenue dropped precipitously as a result of the worldwide financial meltdown and credit contraction. In this exceptionally challenging environment Smith found us a buyer for our manufacturing company, a buyer that will enable us to become the low cost provider to our market, in addition to providing us urgently required financing. My partner and I are continuing to run our company with same level of independence we enjoyed pre-acquisition. If Smith had not shown us how to re-cast our financials to more accurately reflect historic performance, it would not have been possible to have even an initial conversation with a prospective buyer.

We retained Loren M Smith’s firm, Blue Valley Capital, to source and evaluate potential North American acquisition targets for our company, CTE Tech, headquartered in Taiwan. We made this decision as a result of a study we commissioned to identify our options to pursue the acquisition of Wire Harness Manufactures in the U.S. and Mexico. Smith did exactly what he said he would, on schedule, and on budget. He was exceptionally responsive, professional, and knowledgeable.

I commend Loren Smith for his ability to understand the perspective of both the buyer and seller. Through his keen insight and industry knowledge, Loren was able to move my organization and the seller towards an agreement. Without Loren guiding the discussions I doubt that we would have been able to reach a deal; especially a deal that worked so well for all parties.

Selling my manufacturing company, when the credit markets were 'frozen' and my company's revenue was down substantially, was not easy. Blue Valley's tenacity, and ability to communicate my company's positive attributes, got it done. They were able to find a buyer for my business who will take it to the next level, while treating my employees and my customers with the respect and consideration that’s consistent with my values. Happily, I decided to stay, working for our new owner in a sales management capacity.
