Distributor relationships may be impacted in the sale and transfer process, and this takes a specialized knowledge to handle.

Understanding the assets and the licensing issues enables us to structure deals that can reduce transfer costs, get regulatory approval, and bank or SBA lender financing. This depth of knowledge in the industry is an advantage.
