About Doug Atkinson

With over 30 years in the marketplace, I discovered that success is based on your partnerships, tools, planning and strategic execution. From start-ups to rapid-growth and turnaround business environments, learning to strategically assess your business needs, find new solutions and manage implementation strategies will keep you on the path to growth and expansion. Whether you want to buy, sell or grow your business, I can establish partner networks to nurture your opportunities, find businesses for entrepreneurs looking to expand or a find buyer for those looking to exit successfully. When it comes to building solid business relationships, I can show you how to improve your business with innovative technologies, quality controls and cost-effectiveness. When it comes to selling your business, I help business owners achieve the highest and best possible price for their business. When owners attempt to manage the complex selling process alone, their business tends to lose value as they are pulled in many different directions.When it comes to buying or growing a business, we have developed systems and tools necessary to evaluate the best business for you as well as to help you grow and scale your new or existing business with a future exit plan. For expert advice and proven, customized strategies to build business to business partnerships, buy a new business or even exit your business, contact me, I can answer your questions! Connect with me today to discuss how I can help you meet your goals.Doug Atkinson | 40••••••26 | d•••@business-team.com | | DRE# 02••••80
