“For more than 30 years I have been CFO for a family-owned group of companies in the Gresham, Oregon area. At our peak we employed more than 160 employees and had more than $150 million in sales. Our company was founded by entrepreneurs. and we started or purchased half a dozen companies. Over time, we began to sell them, some on our own, some through a broker. One broker, Dave Kauppi of Midmarket Capital, met or exceeded our expectations.
• He helped us to understand the value of our business, and how it would be evaluated by prospective buyers.
• He pitched our company, Scan123, to dozens of qualified buyers.
• His efforts resulted in five clear offers from qualified buyers.
• He coached us on how to evaluate and respond to each of the offers.
• He prepared us for some of the negotiating techniques that the prospective buyer might employ.
For software businesses, Mr. Kauppi has established himself as the “go to” expert for SAAS businesses. We encourage you to consider him if you decided to sell your SAAS business. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you wish to discuss this reference or our experience with Midmarket Capital.” William Leslie former CFO OAC, LLC dba SCAN123

“We recently completed the sale of our company. We are very pleased with the outcome and wanted to write you to express our appreciation for your guidance as we negotiated our letter of intent and our counter proposals to the buyer. Your Letter of Intent Consulting Service was just what we needed after receiving a very detailed and complex LOI from the buyer. Once we engaged with MidMarket Capital we sent you the offer letter and within several hours you sent back a red-lined version with comments and explanations.
We followed that up with a conference call where we discussed our desired outcomes and how to best structure our counter offer to give us the best possibility of achieving our optimal deal structure and value. After some back and forth discussions and deal revisions, we agreed to counter sign our offer letter and begin the due diligence process with the buyer. With your help, we felt confident that we received an excellent closing transaction value with an earnout that we had a high degree of confidence would pay out at 100% of anticipated value.
For several hours of consulting service we feel you returned tremendous value to our transaction. Thank you” Erick Prohs Co-Founder and CFO
