Wide Open for Business

The market for Texas companies continues to be “Off the Charts”.  The reason?  Could it be that for the 14^th year in a row Texas was selected “Best State for Business” by Chief Executive Magazine?  Or is it because Texas has no personal income tax; is a right-to-work state; and is one of the top states for having lowest tax burden for businesses?  Probably it’s for all these reasons that the Texas market will remain “Off the Charts”.

As native Texans, Kasper & Associates (K&A) is pleased and proud to provide merger and acquisition advisory services to North Texas owners of manufacturing, distribution and business-to-business service companies with annual revenues up to $70 million.

From our experience, the primary reasons owners decide to sell include:

• Age; Declining Health; Family Issues
• Owner’s personal net worth is largely tied to the business
• Consolidation in their industry means increased competition from competitors with more resources
• Anticipated growth is on the horizon at their company, so selling now will net the best deal possible

Of K&A’s last 10 clients, 6 were referred by owners’ trusted professional advisors.  Such referrals are the single most important factor for K&A’s continuing success.  We strive to uphold the trust placed in us by those who refer clients, family members or friends to K&A.

As we express our gratitude to each of you during this 34^th Thanksgiving Season for our firm, we shall never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Ed Kasper, Founding Partner
