M. G. Wolff & Associates, Inc. was formed by Michael Wolff in the spring on 1996, based on his lifetime involvement with family business and twenty-plus years experience providing business development consulting services.  Acquisition assistance and growth management services were the primary focus of the firm, but due to demand from clients and their referrals, and the obvious market need, exit planning and brokerage services were soon added.

Since its inception, M. G. Wolff & Associates, Inc. has acquired companies for its clients ranging in size from a few hundred-thousand dollars in annual sales to close to $20 million, and its business development services have supported an additional $23 million in revenue growth.  However, while it is nice to talk about big deals and successful projects, nothing is more rewarding than helping an individual get the most from a lifetime of effort.

Our goal is to make professional business development and brokerage services accessible to small business owners and entrepreneurs with terms that are flexible and agreements structured to align our interests with that of our client's. Our modest overhead requirements, professional experience and proven methods ensure we can focus on delivering value to our clients.

Large businesses enjoy outside support for these critical business activities, but the downtown digs, pricey art and “look good” support staffs of the major consulting firms and brokerage houses puts their services beyond the means of most small business owners.  And spending the extra cash doesn’t guarantee better results. Small business owners desiring the higher level of professional assistance offered by these organizations can wind-up over charged and under served. 

Though there are exceptions, most local brokerages are structured purely to sell businesses, having organizations modeled after residential real estate firms – a model that is inconsistent with providing value-add services and which often penalizes business owners for their success (learn more).  Further, due to their sales orientation, most don’t have the staff expertise or experience required to provide comprehensive business development and exit strategy services.  So those looking for professional assistance may have difficulty finding it, or worse yet, fall victim to one of the companies that prey on business owners inexperienced in buying or selling a business.

The bottom line is that we are not about looking good or doing deals, we are about building business value and protecting personal equity - a difference we promise you will notice.
