Trusted by Serious Entrepreneurs
From first-time buyers to PE firms, our clients trust us to guide their acquisitions.
"I worked with Clearly Acquired on a recent acquisition, and from the first interaction, it went smoothly and exceeded my expectations. They don't just know the lingo; they have been a part of deals in every stage and know how to navigate the process of an SBA Loan. I'm not sure the deal would have gotten done if it wasn't for their help."
"I honestly can't say enough about Samson and the team at Clearly Acquired. As everyone who runs a business knows, there are times when growth is essential, but not necessarily congruent with increased cash flow. I run the top Private Training Facility in Colorado, and when we were ready for another expansion, we turned to Clearly Acquired to help us secure the financing we needed to expand the facility and buy the new equipment."
"Clearly Acquired / Samson's leadership was a great asset for my company when we decided it was the right time to sell. My company Mountain West Disposal started in 2019 and quickly grew into one of the premier waste and recycling companies in northern Colorado. Having multiple one-on-ones with Samson and his team to ensure our company's growth was geared towards increasing market share, leading to a clean sale. Samson and his team worked hand in hand with me until the finish. Networking is one of the biggest struggles I have seen other companies have trouble with. Teaming up with Samson and Clearly Acquired helped me connect the dots with other industries. I would highly recommend that anyone looking to buy or sell their company involve Samson and his team in the process."
