Testimonials

“Merit Capital was fortunate to work with CGK Investment Banking on a major recapitalization of a Wisconsin-based company.  CGK was a strong advocate for the company, while at the same time fairly presenting the company’s operations and financials to Merit.  CGK provided a balanced approach and actively assisted the company, Merit, and the senior lender in getting the deal done.  They assisted all parties in negotiations, kept the parties informed, and moved the deal forward.  We here at Merit Capital look forward to working with CGK on additional opportunities.” Thomas Campion – Managing Director, Merit Capital

“My experience with CGK Investment Banking is that they are straight-forward, pay attention to every detail, knows the game, and get the job done!” Rick Kanter, Chairman, CEO, Dr. Comfort

“After working with CGK on the sale of my company, I told them I wouldn’t do a deal without them. Since then they have helped me acquire two companies.  Their ability to get to the core issues and get the deal done is remarkable.” Marshall Boersma – Owner, OEM Products LLC, Global Manufacturing Solutions LLC & former owner of Elkhorn Machine Co., Inc.

“Tom Kintis was a key, strategically throughout my acquisition process.  I relied heavily on his advice from the letter of intent stage throughout the purchase agreement and through closing.  He was especially instrumental in matching us with a financial partner that was a perfect fit for me and this transaction.” Jim Kettinger – President & CEO IEA

“I want to express my appreciation for the terrific job your firm did preparing us for our recent acquisition by Waste Management Healthcare Solutions, Inc.  While I’ve been successful in developing and marketing new concepts as a start-up entrepreneur, I do not speak the language of a director of finance of a multi-billion dollar publicly traded company.  Your firm does!  Your expertise in assisting me to respond to the due diligence and other deal requirements unquestionably contributed  greatly to not only getting the deal done, but making it happen with a minimal amount of heartburn.  The online dataroom is an innovative method for rapidly providing documents and also shortened the selling cycle.  Thanks again for helping me achieve this personal and professional milestone.” Charlotte A. Smith, R. Ph., M.S., HEM – Director, PharmEcology Services, WM Healthcare Solutions, Inc.

“CGK Investment Banking was extremely helpful when I decided to sell my business.  I was initially skeptical about the process and what CGK could deliver.  But having gone through their process, I now fully understand why it works and I’m happy to say they exceeded by expectations.” David Ausloos, Former Owner of Badger land Car Wash Equipment Co.

“Milwaukee Broach Company has a long professional relationship with CGK Investment Banking, Inc.  We have used CGK in many of the factions of our business such as looking ahead to merger/acquisition activity, refinancing options and ideas, and long-range planning/brainstorming.  CGK’s professional and aggressive staff assisted Milwaukee Broad Company in staying on the cutting edge of the ever changing financial world.  The relationship between MBC and CGK working together will provide nothing but a win-win future for both companies.” Mike Debakker – President, Milwaukee Broach Company

“Having looked at numerous businesses for more than three years, with little success, I concluded that the vast majority may have been good opportunities, but poorly represented by the business brokers.  Upon being introduced to CGK Investment Banking, a firm well-qualified in all business disciplines; I successfully completed the acquisition of a business with substantial opportunity for growth and profitability.  Their knowledge and professionalism was beyond my expectations, and they still contact me for updates and continue to offer support in all aspects for a successful business venture.” Denis Wagen – Owner, Tech One, Inc.

“Their skills as intermediaries were instrumental in working out some of the sticking points.  Throughout the process, they were our coach and cheerleaders.” Barbara Wanless, Former Owner of Haasch Appliances, Owner, Steinway Piano Gallery of Milwaukee
