CEO & President After nearly 9 years in the entertainment industry as a Chief Financial Officer for Universal Music Group, Mel started to search for businesses to buy.

This led Mel to revoloutionize the business brokerage industry by using simple customer service concept such as: (1) providing quality information at the click of a button using website technology; (2) eliminating time wasting faxing of confidential agreements, which are often lost, and that go to brokers who are too consumed and overwhelmed with paperwork that they can't respond not allowing them to do what they do best..SELL; (3) providing our clients, the business owners, with quality brokers who have the knowledge, experience and training to broker their restaurant, which is among the most complicated businesses to broker, (4) providing our Seller's with results based advertising where ads are constantly refreshed; (5) responding to our client's needs through good communications, and: (6) finally, using cutting-edge of web based technologies to help us be productive and attentive to buyers as well as our cleints the business owners - we're doing things other business brokers haven't even dreamed about doing.
