Testimonials Empire Business Brokers of Greenville-Spartanburg, SC area of the sunbelt.
"I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation on Buying and Selling A Business to my Lion's Club. Most business brokerage firms cater to larger businesses. I am glad to have a resource for my clients with sales less than $10 million dollars. I found the presentation very informative and will be a valuable resource to me in the future." Ethan R. Burroughs, Vice President, Senior Community Banking Relationship Manager, Wachovia Bank
"This seminar was thought provoking; this old dog learned a few new tricks. I also observed that I was doing a lot of things right." Tom Burke, Business Owner
“During your talk, I kept thinking of my father and how if he had consulted with a business broker first before transacting his sale, he may not have been in the situation he is in today. The buyer has practically ruined the business, all the good sales people left, and they have defaulted on the loan payment which means my father cannot enjoy his retirement the way he intended. They are going to court. It is a mess.” Brandon Cabaniss, Certified Financial Planner, The Williams Group of Raymond James
"The information and presentation were very informative and understandable. It gave me the tools that I needed to continue to grow the business and prepare it for sale. Roger, Remodeling Business
“Alan Melton’s presentation style is very warm and inviting. I was engaged and learned a great deal. I desire to learn more about my field, my competition, and what others in my industry are doing in other markets.” Isaac M. Fineman, Operations Director, Christian Talk 660
“When I heard Alan Melton of Empire Business Brokers present a program on his services, I was so impressed by his knowledge and emphasis on business ethics, that I invited him to speak to our Executive Roundtable, a weekly forum for our clients in career transition, many of whom aspire to be business owners. I was equally impressed by his presentation to our group. It is clear that Alan is interested in coaching business owners to their best solution, even if he doesn’t broker a sale. He is also a wealth of information for those who believe they would like to be entrepreneurs and assists them in discovering whether that is an appropriate path for them.” Ann Golden, Golden Career Strategies
“The Greer community is experiencing a tremendous growth in the number of entrepreneurs. With a positive business climate, many people are looking for opportunities to join the business community in Greer. Alan Melton and his team at Empire Business Solutions presented a powerful workshop that assisted individuals with buying a potential business or selling an existing one. The workshop was sold out and was well received from our members.” John Kimbrell, President, Greer Chamber of Commerce
"Alan and his partners did a great job with our business valuation topic. They were very informative and the material was definitely timely and thought provoking. They were very professional and knowledgeable." Jon Lopez, President, The Small Business Plan
The feedback from the group yesterday has been amazing. I had two people who have been to PNC meetings but never considered joining that are insistent in being a part of this group. One has contacted 5 of her business friends setting the next meeting date as a must for them to visit. A major part of her decision was your delivery. She is seeking business wisdom and she is a most committed Christian. You answered questions for her that neither the SBA nor the church had given her. Thank you so much for your great research, your powerful delivery and your transparency so that the Lord could shine through you brilliantly. Kay A. Martin, Director, Professional Network Connections
"This seminar is a MUST for ANY small business owner. This is one of the few seminars that I can say “is a wake-up call for the small business owner to NOT LEAVE MONEY ON THE TABLE!” Jim McClain, President, Top Dog Consulting
"This workshop is a good opportunity for a business owner thinking of transitioning to begin the trip from foggy thinking to reality." Frank Warren III, Attorney
"Your presentation to my Spartanburg Lion’s Club was an excellent overview of the buying/selling process as it relates to business enterprises." Eric McDonald, CPA, Accounting Services Manager, McAbee, Talbert, Halliday & Co
“I greatly enjoyed your presentation to my Rotary Club last week; you gave an interesting and thought-provoking presentation. In my search for a new career, it dawned on me that purchasing a business would be both rewarding and challenging. It is easily seen that the best way to sell a business is to keep growing that business, a sound principle in many ways. After all, if you are not moving ahead, you really are falling behind, especially in the fast pace of the global economy. This is a message that every public or private manager should take to heart. “ Stan Reid, MD, Financial Advisor, Raymond James Financial Services
“Alan’s presentation was exceptional. He provided meaningful advice on things potential buyers and sellers should consider well in advance of a transaction. His experience as a buyer and seller of small businesses prior to becoming a broker assisting other buyers and sellers gives him credibility and tremendous insight with regards to the process.” T.J. Way, CPA, Way & Henderson, LLC, Managing Partner, & Greenville Rotary Breakfast Club

Your presentation is heart-warming, deep and thought provoking. Your message of sharing God's vision for your business, open book management, and preparing your business for sale is needed among CEO's today. I highly recommend you to business groups." John, CEO, Wise Counsel
"Common sense approach presented with confidence and enthusiasm. This helps to determine value from a buyers perspective and not only your own point of view." Tom, Restaurant Owner
