Closed Deals / Testimonials
I worked with Dwayne Evans and the Vant Group to facilitate the process of selling my business. Their professionalism, experience, and knowledge was invaluable. Dwayne worked with us every step of the way, ensured a healthy dialog and partnership with the buyer, ultimately leading to a successful acquisition. I could not be more satisfied in our decision to work with this firm.

Julie Fleming at the Vant Group was a rock star to work with. Our large family-run business needed to get to the next level with PE partners. Julie successfully started the process, made us feel comfortable, was accessible, and closed! We could not have imagined ever going through the transaction of a lifetime without our new friend, Julie by our side! If you are looking for someone to assist with brokering your business your search has now ended. Congratulations!

If you are buying or selling a business unit, then you are a crazy to use anyone else besides Vant. Here is why:
The experience start to finish with the Vant Group was phenomenal. It is refreshing to work with people who really know their craft and bring a level of expertise to the table on which you can’t put a real dollar value. You don’t know what you don’t know, and I was in a position where I had never sold a business unit before, and I did not know the process. So, the need for a broker who knew what they were doing was on the top of the list of my priorities.
Dwayne, from the Vant Group, walked us through the entire process and advised us every step of the way. I really liked the way Dwayne kept up the momentum of our engagement and also kept all parties grounded in the expectations. Dwayne has a keen business mind and can relate fundamentals to everyone in a real and understandable way so that all parties see the value in what is being brokered.
At the sale closing is where the true test of your broker comes into play. Dwayne had everything prepared in advance and made sure that the buyer, seller, and the lender all stayed on track so that the sale went through on schedule. As a buyer or a seller, you can’t ask for anything better than that.
Vant is the real deal and will be my only business broker in the future

Selling your business can be a very daunting, overwhelming and stressful event. The Vant Group is a tremendous asset as they guide you through the many complexities involved in this type of transaction and do a great deal of the heavy work for you. They not only help guide and steer you through the negotiations but also assist with pulling together required reports and documentation. Another benefit working with The Vant Group is saving you monies spent on legal fees as they already have standard forms and documents prepared that your attorney can review so that you do not pay to reinvent the wheel.
There are many other ways they can assist as well – finding the right buyer for you and helping the buyer finance the transaction if that is needed.
I would highly recommend The Vant Group and Mr. Dirk Armbrust to anyone
selling their business.
- Doris Gottesman
Thanks for your work with our portfolio company. We have tried to do searches before, but you bring a lot of professionalism to the deal that we haven’t previously seen.
- MB, Retained Buyer Client
From the initial meeting to the final signature, The Vant Group handled this transaction in the uppermost professional matter. I will highly recommend The Vant Group to anyone or group looking to buy or sell a business”.
- J.V. Construction Company
I have referred several clients to Alex at The Vant Group. In each case they were very professional, discreet, and knew exactly how to market a business and get it to closing. Even though I am a CPA, they did a far better job than I could have done. I would not hesitate to refer other clients to them in the future.”
- H. H. CPA
Finding the buyer is just the beginning of selling a business. I am convinced that the marketing package that Alex put together, his ability to help the buyer secure financing, and their negotiating skills resulted in my client receiving the best possible price for his business. The entire staff at The Vant Group is very professional and a real pleasure to do business with.”
- J. L. Commercial Insurance Agency
Buying and selling businesses can be an intimidating process for both the buyer and the seller. Buying and selling a business where the entities are family members can be exceedingly treacherous. I want to thank The Vant Group for the way they handled our transition as we forged our way through the process of changing ownership. Most importantly, however, was your sensitivity to the fact that we were family members and our business interests were far outweighed by our relationship. Thanks for your professional a pp roach and your willingness to listen to our needs.”
- P. K. Software Company
This is the first review I have ever written. I’ve just never felt the need when buying a house, car, hiring a contractor or going to a restaurant. But selling our family business was the largest, most stressful, life-changing experience I have ever been through. I lost more sleep during that period than I ever have during any other period in my life. But I can honestly say that Julie Fleming was right by my side every single day during the process. I think it’s only normal to sometimes feel like a broker can be playing both sides in order to get the deal done, but that is not Julie Fleming. Julie was on my side and only my side during the entire process. I would absolutely without a doubt recommend Julie and the Vant Group to anybody that is considering selling their business.
- Arian Rodriguez
The Vant Group successfully handled the sale of our mold making company in a professional manner, and did so confidentially. They were professional, competent, and got the job done. I would recommend this firm to anyone interested in selling their firm.”
- J. D. Mold Making Firm
When I decided to sell my firm, I was skeptical about being able to keep the deal confidential. The Vant Group kept the deal confidential all through the selling process to closing. I had also tried to sell the company myself and it was a virtual disaster. The Vant Group kept the deal on track in spite of all of the obstacles that came up. They were very professional in everything that they did in this deal.”
- L. H. Swimming Pool Maintenance Firm
I feel you represented me with integrity, commitment and professionalism, resulting in a very satisfactory outcome for all parties involved. I am especially grateful for your continued diligence after a couple of deals had fallen through. It would have been real easy to loose your enthusiasm and move on to other things.”
- J. S. Commercial Upholstery Co.
I want to thank you for the hard work and dedication that you showed in selling our company. I would highly recommend you to anyone wishing to sell their business as our sale was done expeditiously and without any problems.”
- J. S. Automotive Service
The Vant Group is as professional, thorough and forthright as anyone we have dealt with in almost 40 years in the world of business. He said what he was going to do to ensure the sale of our business, and then he did everything that he said, and more. Your organization provided us with exceptional service, and we will be calling when we are ready to begin out next endeavor.”
- J. L. Metal Door Co.
You were always positive and upfront with the information that you gave. No one knows what the future holds but if by chance I ever need or want to sell another company I know who to call. I feel like that during this process you went above and beyond what was expected of you and to me that means a lot.”
- D. W. Commercial Cabinet Mfg.
We appreciated your persistence of contacting us for over three years and your sound advice and guidance through the entire process of meeting the potential buyers, financing and all the contracts to protect us and the new owner of the company. We are enjoying our retirement and will be happy to tell any owner of a company looking for a buyer to contact you.”
