Ramon Ramirez was the selling agent for the business I purchased. He is a must-have contact for any business acquisition. He was exceptional to work with, bringing a wealth of experience, knowledge, and business contacts. The deal builder website was also top notch. The entire team at Chinook Business Advisory Ltd is a well oiled machine, well positioned for today's business environment. Thank you again.

Ramon was a great support and help with facilitating the sale of my business Eden Street Salon and Day Spa in Campbell River BC. He assisted Valine Wheatley from Sage Spa with acquiring financing and worked together with the both of us to come to a fair agreement on the details of the sale of Eden Street. I know he was very patient and understanding when both Valine and I were faced with delays and stresses. Ramon's past experience in lending and business knowledge was an asset to explain things when there were any questions by the purchaser and seller. I am grateful he was with me through the process of selling and would highly recommend him not only as a professional but as a friend. Thank you Ramon, I give you a BIG 5 STARS!

When deciding to sell our business, our biggest fear was the work involved in the "process". The best thing we did was hire Chinook..our advisors did most of the work with the accountants and lawyers making it very easy on our end with very little stress. The process was very quick and the end result, well..let's just say I am super relaxed these days!!! Thanks again to the Chinook team for taking care of us through this big life decision...would highly recommend!!!
