President / CEO

Master Distribution LLC

EdgePoint’s team of highly skilled professionals truly exceeded our expectations as they guided us through the marketing and selling of our business. They are some of the most knowledgeable people I have worked with during my 45 plus year career. They maintained excellent communication throughout the entire process and the advice given to us through each phase was extremely helpful. Our company realized a higher value than originally expected due to EdgePoint’s excellent marketing preparations and timely execution throughout the process. This was a direct result of the scope of understanding they have from their many years of experience. They are beyond good at what they do and I would highly recommend EdgePoint to anyone who may be looking to sell their business.
