"I know I spoke to you in the past about how much I appreciate your referral to RFN. They are a world class team that has provided a thorough and professional assessment of our dealership in a warm and caring environment. They identified strengths and weakness which aligned quite well with my mindset. I will continue to work with the team as they will present different paths on how to proceed from this point forward. Again, I want to thank you for your assistance for making this connection possible with RFN."

“We at BLDM used to run our business in a traditional way in which we would follow our year-long budget and goals. RFN Advisory Group (SVA) opened our eyes to look further than our year-long goals by writing, implementing and following a 5-year business plan in which all the stakeholders need to have an ownership attitude.”

“We were looking for advisory services on transitioning ownership to employees, as exit plan. For us the value was in facilitation of difficult and postponed conversations with long-term employees, getting them started.

“The best business consultants get to the heart of what a business owner most needs. That is, incisive information, analysis and advice that drives intelligent, realistic decision-making in the best interest of the owner. That is precisely what I receive from Sean Hutchinson at RFN Advisory Group (SVA). His unique approach to valuation and ‘what if’ scenarios is insightful and comprehensive. His questioning and feedback have been invaluable to me.”
