Prior to founding GaP, Matt and Bret built several privately-held businesses, including a highly acclaimed fabrication/manufacturing business from the ground up. They also acquired businesses to grow their footprint, add geographies, and extend the reach of those companies. Eventually, they decided to sell those businesses, and each was sold to Private Equity Buyers, Competitors, and twice to Public Companies.

Having once walked in YOUR shoes, they know the challenges of marketing and successfully selling entrepreneurial, privately owned businesses. The first-hand, real-world experience Matt and Bret have with the unique aspects of operating a privately-held or family-owned operation means this firm is uniquely qualified to understand and represent a successful manufacturing business like YOURS.

At GaP, our mission is to provide better representation consistently leading to better results.

Our in-house Accounting, Analytics, Finance, and Marketing teams are all manned by prior business owners and seasoned executives who understand the intricacies of selling a business. Our client-to-broker ratio is among the lowest in the industry.

In practice, all of this translates into YOU getting the absolute best representation in the business.
