PGI has been for decades focused on a single mission: “to improve our clients’ positions.” Our unique and proven market approach has resulted in years of sold businesses. See our Testimonials webpage or see below our Letters of References Brochure link that spans four decades. See reference comments below under About. Our Core Values WE TRULY CARE. When we take on an engagement, we realize that you are placing your retirement and financial future in our hands. And we take this responsibility seriously — we respect the years you’ve taken to create this business and the importance this transaction will have on your future. Our Approach Our first step is to share what we know about the current market conditions and how buyers value closely held businesses. We then look at your business to arrive at a range of value to see if your expectations are within the market. Only then do we engage to represent you. If not, we will offer advisory services to help you grow your company and achieve a value that meets your expectations.
