Murphy Business & Financial Corporation Lee Hwy, Mt Sidney

I've had the opportunity to interview a number of clients for Murphy Business. Every single one of them have had great things to say about Dick and his team. The most fascinating part is anytime we've interviewed selling clients after a closing, the buyers have wanted to say something about their experience with the Murphy Business crew. All of them sang praises about the professionalism and expertise the Murphy Business team provided, even though the buyers weren't "their client." To me, this speaks to the values Dick and his team bring to everyone involved in a deal. When it comes time to sell my business, Murphy Business will be the only team I call.

I have been in a situation where I was selling a business a couple of years ago and was quite impressed with the exchange I had with Murphy Business Sales. Both Ben and Dick were very professional and when I was prepared to buy a business partner's half of the business last fall, I returned to the Haltermans for their professional help. Once again I was impressed completely. I will seek them out again in the next few years when I'll be selling two businesses and go into full time retirement. These fellows are great. I highly recommend them!

Dick and his crew have listed and found buyers for several of our clients. I believe Dick's experience as a CPA provides him the technical expertise to understand the financial aspects of individual businesses, and the ability to present that information in a way that potential buyers can understand. In every deal there seems to be a time when it appears the deal may fall apart, and that is when Dick work his magic to keep the process moving forward.

As a small family business owner, finding someone like Dick Halterman at Murphy Business to assist in an ownership transition was a valuable discovery. He provided an opinion of value and some outstanding counsel. Whether looking for an opinion of value, a full business valuation or someone to represent you as a buyer or seller, I unequivocally recommend Dick at Murphy Business.

I had the privilege of working with Dick Halterman and his son Ben at Murphy Business, and was extremely satisfied with my experience. I needed help establishing an appropriate value for my business which I was selling. Their personable demeanor put me right at ease, and their competent professionalism gave me confidence. When the project was complete, I knew that I had something concrete to go on when quoting the selling price of my business, rather than just pulling a number out of the air. I highly recommend Murphy Business for your business brokerage needs.

I have worked with Dick on numerous transactions where he has assisted my clients as sellers and as purchasers of businesses. Dick is very engaged and helpful throughout the transaction from start to finish and his accounting background is a real plus for the client. I have no reservation referring Dick's brokerage service to clients and prospective clients.

In June 2017, my family purchased Shenandoah Paint, thru Dick Halterman and his Shenandoah Valley Murphy Business Broker team. From the professionally prepared Confidential Memorandum, through the meeting with the Sellers, through the negotiated Letter of Intent, through the Due Diligence period and through the timely Closing, the entire process was smooth and without any issues. Dick's listing of a 35 year old established Benjamin Moore Paint store in Harrisonburg, was a great business opportunity. The accuracy of information in the Memorandum, prepared by Dick, was very important in determining the business FMV and sales price. I would highly recommend Dick Halterman and his professional team.

Dick works hard to satisfy his clients in a professional and confidential manner. I have worked with him on numerous deals and refer my clients to him when they are in need of business broker services.
