Most companies cease to exist – either because there is no succession plan, or they merge, or are acquired or go bankrupt. Not long ago, I ran into a fellow named Chet Obieleski of CO Group. He helped engineer the acquisition of M2 Enterprises and Welocalize. I asked him if he would stay in the localization field? He responded, “Yes.

Dear Chet,

I would like to give an official acknowledgement and “thank you” to the CO Group for the professional services you have provided over the past 12 months related to the sale of our company.

You did a great job of identifying where the value was, and how to articulate it to potential buyers.  You also identified the weaknesses, and provided advice on how to rectify and explain them.  You did this in a straightforward, earnest manner that expedited the entire process.
 

Please don’t hesitate to give my contact information to any business owner interested in selling their company. I will highly recommend your services.

               
Sincerely,

Gary Prioste, former owner, Localize Technologies
