When it came time to sell, I didn’t take the decision lightly. From the start, Assurgo Enterprises showed they were the right fit. They understood our business, our industry, and how much work went into building it. It was a long process, but they stayed steady, organized, and responsive throughout. They brought qualified buyers, ran a disciplined process, and gave clear, practical advice throughout.

Assurgo was highly responsive and always available when questions came up, especially at critical moments. They introduced AGI to us, ran a tight and disciplined process, and gave straight, practical advice throughout. Bottom line: they did what they said they would do, and they delivered real results. After building this company over four decades, I wanted to ensure its future while protecting our employees and community relationships,” said Mike Kozinuk, president of Fab-Rite Services, who will remain with the company as president. “AGI understands our business and shares our values.”

Working with the team at Assurgo was a pleasure. Their expertise and responsiveness contributed to a seamless experience.

Selling a business I built and ran for more than 46 years, was one of the biggest decisions of my life. Even though the final sale went privately to my step-daughter, I never could have navigated the process without the support of Assurgo. They helped me truly understand the value of what I had worked so hard to build and made sure I felt confident and comfortable every step of the way. They treated me with patience and respect, and they cared as much about my legacy as I did. I’m grateful for their guidance. I recommend them to anyone facing a transition like mine.

My partners and I are grateful to the team at Assurgo Enterprises for their exceptional guidance throughout the sale process of our fluid and chemical hauling business. From the very beginning, their professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail were evident, and they took the time to truly understand our goals. They were persistent and determined.  On our behalf, they located strong buyers for our company and expertly negotiated an outcome that exceeded our expectations while respecting the Legend Oilfield legacy. We highly recommend Assurgo to anyone looking for a trusted M&A advisor.

After successfully establishing and expanding a professional services business, the next significant milestone for my partners and I was selling or attracting investors. We sought a clear pathway to an exit or attracting a new strategic partner while also offering key managers the chance to participate in ownership. Assurgo understood our objectives and demonstrated skill in navigating multiple parties in a complex transaction to achieve our goals.  It was a pleasure working with the team at Assurgo and recommend them for owners considering M&A transactions.

In 2020, our company faced exposure due to the global shutdown, prompting the need for rapid recapitalization. Assurgo Enterprises, highly recommended, quickly understood the urgency and gravity of the situation. We sought immediate and skilled intervention, and Assurgo rose to the challenge. Acknowledging the critical time constraints, they promptly deployed a highly skilled team, initiating a sales process. Their process exposed the opportunity to hundreds of qualified buyers worldwide.

As a result, we achieved multiple strong offers from a diverse group of buyers—a testament to the effectiveness of Assurgo's strategic approach. Their steadfast assistance persisted through negotiations and closing, ensuring our advantageous positioning. The outcome surpassed our expectations, thanks to Assurgo's experienced and well-resourced support.

In 2022, the board made the decision to sell. I knew we didn’t have the expertise or time to go it alone and we needed help. We have worked with Gerry Robitaille and his team at Assurgo in the past and were impressed so we asked for a proposal. Assurgo’s proposal checked all our boxes - they met our criteria and had the right skill set, experience, and attitude.

From day-one, we felt that Assurgo ‘got it.’ Their preparation and strategy confirmed that they did. We were impressed to see numerous financial models reflecting each of the shareholders' positions up-front for optimal decision-making. Assurgo’s execution was excellent, in particular their timely communication skills to keep the parties aligned when difficult issues arose.

Assurgo located a buyer who met all our requirements. Assurgo capably advised and supported us through every step in the sale transaction. In addition to their clear expertise, they were creative in dealing with the differing interests of both parties making suggestions for a win- win scenario.

Assurgo has  the skill level and expertise combined with a client focused creative approach that got the deal done. I can wholeheartedly recommend Assurgo as your Merger and Acquisition Consultant.

Over the years and through the sale of multiple businesses, I’ve interacted with many M&A advisors. Assurgo stands out both for their ability to understand nuances to leverage key drivers and find solutions to challenges during negotiations. They marry the numbers with the people side and present the business in such a compelling way. I always recommend Assurgo for any M&A related engagements. The Assurgo team was and is an absolute pleasure to work with!
