 Testimonials "To whom it may concern: Doug Fournier handled the transaction when we purchased our business in December of 1997. Doug displayed a strong and deep base of knowledge. He never failed to be professional, ethical and forthright. Since we purchased our business with his help, I have referred five or six prospective clients to Doug and I will continue to recommend him to my friends. I will be happy to talk with anyone who is looking for a recommendation." - Ronald J Dykstra President/CEO AccuServe Corporation 616-667-0040 "Dan Holbert, MBA was the Business Broker when I bought my business in 1996. He was always there to answer any questions that came up, regardless if it took a phone call, or several calls until I was satisfied. I was so impressed with his professionalism and service, that when I was ready to sell it in 2002, I looked him up to be my Broker". - Bob Furney "Equity Ltd. gave us excellent representation.
