What do Buyers, Sellers, Our Peers and the Community have to say about us?
"It is my pleasure to recommend Dean Scholfield to represent anyone interested in selling a business. Dean is a very qualified and conscientious Business Broker, with the experience and expertise needed to cover all aspects of a sale. Throughout the sale of my business, Dean was honest and forthright, never leading me to believe that we could sell my company for more than it was worth or promising anything he couldn't deliver. He also saw the potential of my company and knew how to market it at a premium price. I found Dean to be an ethical person who is only interested in representing quality companies rather than questionable ones. The most important part of being a good sales person is the ability to follow through in a timely fashion. Dean was exemplary in that area as well. He's organized and focused on getting results. Dean was able to make the process of selling our company as smooth a process as possible. I am happy to give him this endorsement and can attest to the high probability of satisfaction for anyone who hires Dean Scholfield to help sell a company."

"W want to thank Apeiron for your guidance and council in selling our business: we would not have believed it could have gone so smoothly. They were right ( as usual); selling a business is a process. Without your expertise we would not have been able to do it, much less get our price. Apeiron is a straightforward, honest and knowledgeable company that knows what their doing... As we look back, we know we never could have done it on our own: selling a company is a full time job , and we already had full time jobs. In short, hiring Apeiron to sell our business was the best business decision we ever made."

"When I started looking for a business to purchase I wanted to be sure that I was represented well. I met with Apeiron, and decided to have them in my corner before the meeting was over. I was looking for a straight forward person to give me advice and information and did not feel let down at any point in the process. It took me over a year to find a suitable business. Apeiron stuck by me the whole time and never pressured me to buy a business just for the sake of closing the deal. I would heartilly recommend Apeiron to anyone looking for a top notch representative to buy or sell a business."

"As the former Owner of Smart Start Arizona, I would like to thank your company and specifically Dean Scholfield, for his outstanding representation of our interests in the sale of my business. Seldom does one receive in this day and age, the truly professional representation and customer service that Dean provided. Dean negotiated a fair transaction for both Seller and Buyer using his insight and voluminous knowledge of business and accounting aptitude and made what can be a difficult and arduous process very easy. We at Gannon Enterprises LLC, would highly recommend Apeiron and Mr. Scholfield to anyone considering buying or selling a business."

"Over the past 5 years, I have had the opportunity to deal with Apeiron in both selling a small industrial manufacturing company and buying a tech based service business. In both cases I interviewed a number of Phoenix area brokers and chose Apeiron to handle my dealings. Having been both a Buyer and a Seller, I can say without a doubt they are the most professional and honest Broker in the Arizona market. They made a thorough evaluation of the Seller, potential Buyers and business format and did an excellent job of matching the right buyer with the right business for them. I have found them to be fair in their evaluation and pricing, and willing to be flexible in order to insure the long term success of both the Seller and the Buyer. I have referred two of my associates to them, both of whom ended up in successful small business ownership. The Company I bought through Apeiron, has experienced 24% growth in gross sales in only 24 months and has achieved the distinction of now being in the top ten distributors for one of our vendors out of all their distributors throughout the U.S.. Along with the ISO 17025 accreditation, this is a great achievement in the 30 year history of the company. If at some point in the future, I require the need of a Business Broker, Apeiron will be the one I call. I highly recommend their services."

"It is difficult to put into words how pleased I have been with the level of professionalism Dean Scholfield displayed on my behalf over the last 3 years. In my 25 years of selling homes, property, and other business I cannot recall a time when someone worked as hard as you did to insure a successful outcome. The road we traversed was rough and the pitfalls numerous yet neither one of us would give up and your unfaltering drive and determination brought to fruition what I could only dream and imagine. Dean, I would be honored if you used this letter and myself as a personal reference for a future client looking to make a similar change in life as I did."

"I wish to express my appreciation for your role in the successful sale of (Confidential). You are a professional in a land where professionalism is sometimes lacking. I certainly look forward to working with you and/or the other members of Apeiron."

"I wanted to let you know how happy we are with the service provided to us. We listed our business with him in June and he had it sold by July and we closed in August. The buyer you found for our company is very qualified to take over. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone who is looking to sell their business."

"Dean was originally my father's business broker. When my father grew ill and was no longer able to conduct business, Dean brought me up to speed on the contract to sell, and gave me confidence that he had the experience and knowledge (which I did not) to handle all the details of selling a bar. Dean constantly kept me informed, lent his experience to me in the negotiation process and at closing served as the liaison between all of the parties involved in the transaction. Thanks Dean! I couldn't have done it without you."

"We listed the Company with Apeiron in October. We had 3 potential buyers in a little over a week. We had a consistent list of people that wanted to see the business. You always called ahead and made sure that the time and day worked out for us. Apeiron helped us with all aspects of the transaction from the value of the business to the final paperwork. With all of your help the business had a firm buyer and was sold in 4 months. I would like to thank your company for all of your help in the sale of my business. Without that help the sale would not have gone as smoothly as it did."

"Thank you very much for helping us sell our business. You went above and beyond to make the sale go as smooth as possible. You brought us several prospective buyers. The people that ended up buying our business were very qualified to take over. The SBA loan process took a lot longer than we thought it would, but we feel it would have taken even longer if you didn't stay on top of it. You always stayed in contact with us throughout the whole process and always returned our calls. That meant a lot to us. If we ever decided to buy or sell a company again, we would definitely have you handle it and we will continue to recommend you in the future."

"Many thanks to Dean all for his hard work and expertise in bringing about the sale of our business. We have the utmost confidence in (the Buyer's) abilities and know that he will further the success of the business! Getting my husband to slow down now will take more effort- reality won't hit for awhile, I'm afraid! We're looking forward to our celebration dinner!"
