I have worked with Scott Perry on several business acquisition transactions and he has always provided sound advice to both buyers and sellers, working diligently to solve problems. I would not hesitate to recommend Scott to potential clients.

As a business broker and a business consultant, Michelle Dunn takes the “Grammy” if there were one! Working with Michelle as I considered the sale of my company up to accepting an offer, I have found Michelle to be highly professional and of utmost integrity. Michelle communicated with me on a regular basis, educated me, maintained confidentiality, and above all she has continued to coach and educate me after the sale of my company. There is not a better business broker in the industry.

Hi Scott & Margaret,

I just wanted to thank you both for all your help in selling our school. This was our baby for such a long time, and now that it is 24 years old, it’s time to say goodbye. Thanks for helping to make it a good experience and as painless as possible. It is definitely bittersweet.

Cheryl and the Gateway team put out the best diligence packages for M&A I have seen. It is a facet that sets them apart.

Cheryl Hayes did an excellent job selling my wife’s preschool. She held our hand every step of the way. She got us more than we expected. She was extremely responsive to all of our questions and issues. She is highly recommended!
