"The way you and your team have run this process has been excellent. The proactive updates, the willingness to address questions broadly, the quality of the data-book and CIM, and the responsiveness throughout have been refreshing. I appreciate it."
— Prospective Buyer · Sell-Side Engagement, 2026"I recently sold my dental practice after 45 years and used Genuine Business Advisors for the entire process. From the very first conversation, GBA demonstrated profound expertise and genuine professionalism at every stage. Their team took the time to understand both my goals and the unique qualities of my business, which gave me great confidence and peace of mind. They communicated transparently, offered insightful advice, and navigated complex negotiations with remarkable skill. The transition was seamless and exceeded my expectations."
— Dr. Edward B. Kaiser · Owner, Oaklawn Family Dental Associates, RI"GBA was instrumental in advising me on my first business purchase and has subsequently helped me with all my business needs. John continually provides guidance, information and a strategic perspective that is essential for business growth. John and his team are very friendly, knowledgeable, and timely."
— Julie Freitas · Owner, Planted Donuts
"Genuine Business Advisors, led by Angela and John, were crucial to getting my dental practice acquisition completed. They guided me through the process and emphasized key points of interest for my practice. Their broad range of connections — from marketing to payroll — proved invaluable. More importantly, they educated me in various business topics that will benefit me for the rest of my career."
— Dr. Stanley Chan · Owner, Dental Practice, RI
"John represented our firm during our search for and negotiation with potential buyers of our firm. He introduced us to numerous highly qualified acquisition candidates and skillfully guided our company through the marketing, due diligence, and sales process. I enthusiastically recommend John and I would engage him for any business purchase/sale transaction that we may consider in the future."
