"Assisting in our Republic due-diligence, Jim Mulick & his team did what we asked and more. They helped us truly understand the global competitive issues facing the company and did an excellent job of understanding & communicating the implications of changing industry dynamics. The Ameridan team also had great skill and experience in assessing customer relationships, end-use markets and distribution channels. I really liked that they brought together information from many sources to turf up issues, verify findings, and draw rich conclusions. Ameridan is among the best in the business." Daniel Colin Partner Monomoy Capital Partners

"Hiring Ameridan was the best move we made. Jim is a true pro. He pointed out things we never thought of that dramatically increased the value of our company. He knew exactly how to communicate our company's story and managed the process to our benefit. Best of all, he is not afraid to get his hands dirty; he sweated the details and worked hand-in-hand with our accountant and attorney through the sometimes difficult negotiations. Without Jim, I really don't think the transaction would have been successfully completed. I'm really happy he was on our team." Dennis Perna Vice-President & Co-owner Peerless Paper Mills, Inc.

"My company was a wholesale distributor of industrial fasteners which I founded in 1968. In late 1997 several well-financed acquirers approached me about buying the company and I realized that it was the right time to seriously consider selling. I spoke with three or four firms offering merger and acquisition services and after careful consideration, I chose Jim Mulick. Jim professionally took me through the process of establishing and justifying a sales price. He developed a very professional memorandum which covered all aspects of my business. Our first serious candidate was a multinational company based in Germany. They came close to our requirements, but not close enough. Our second candidate would eventually be successful. But the interesting part was the fact that after 7 weeks of due-diligence, negotiations, and visits to our offices, I had changed my mind and decided not to sell! Needless to say, quite a few people weren't very happy. After about a week Jim called me, and asked if it would be OK to phone the principal of the acquirer and try to restart the process. I agreed! Jim was able to negotiate a $1 million increase in the offer and within 2-days due diligence resumed and settlement went smoothly shortly thereafter. In short, my experience with Jim was most beneficial to the sale of my company. He is truly a professional negotiator, with a quiet demeanor and uncommon persistence. I would feel comfortable c alling on Jim again to carry me through another acquisition process. F. G. (Fred) Lubker Former President/CEO Lufasco, Inc.

"I hired Jim to approach just one specific acquirer to see if he could put together the right deal... and he did! He took the time to understand Allegheny Steel's unique niche in the industry and was able to communicate its true value. He is a real professional with the knowledge, experience and relationships to get the job done". Robert Wickerham Former President & Owner Allegheny Steel Distributors, Inc

"Ameridan did an exceptional job in helping us sell our interests in Steelcare. Jim was able to generate interest among several large strategic acquirers and in a very short period of time, we had multiple purchase proposals on the table. Jim understood the business, and knew how to communicate its unique value. I was especially impressed with how he quickly got to the right decision-makers and his ability to professionally communicate our story. He's a real pro." Philip Fracassi Principal Bridge Partners

"Ameridan's work in connection with our acquisition of Wire Rope Corporation of America was intelligent, thorough and well-supported. Jim and his team collected key insights and data from customer interviews, global industry sources and management, and were then able to synthesize these insights into a product that directly supported our decision-making process. We were thrilled with Ameridan's work. They provided us with significant value in our acquisition; we will not hesitate to engage Jim on future transactions."
