About Tom Macpherson

If you are ready to sell your business now, would like to get a free valuation opinion for a future sale, or would like to know how to increase the value of your business, let me help you. As a M&A Advisor / Business Transfer Specialist / Business Broker, I focus on helping owners of companies valued between $1M and $25M sell their businesses - confidentially. You can reach me at Tom@SAG-US.com or call (M) 770.367.4356.About me:After graduating from UVA in 1972 and earning my CPA certificate, I spent ten years in private and public accounting, and residential construction; and in 1982 I purchased a quick-print franchise in Atlanta. During the next 20 years, I made it the 11th largest single-location quick-print company in the US. Also, during that time, I started, purchased, sold, and/or merged nine different printing companies.When I starting thinking about selling my business in 2001, I realized that I had no idea how much my business was worth or what I had to do to sell it. And, how was I going to confidentially find a buyer who would purchase my company – while I was still working 16 hour days on my business? After I sold the business in 2002, I became a licensed business broker in Georgia – to serve business owners who wanted to exit their own companies. I’ve sold businesses in wide variety of industries, including: manufacturing, distribution, and B2B & B2C services. How I Can Help You:In addition to valuing your business, structuring the transaction, and confidentially presenting it to many potential buyers, my unique selling process can help you in three major ways:1. Limit Daily Interruptions to Your Schedule - so you can remain focused on running your business; 2. Reduced Sales Cycle – so your business is sold quickly; and 3. Improved Perceived Value by Buyers – so your business is sold at the highest price.See our process in the attachment below.Reach me at TomM@SummitAcquisitions.com or call (M) 770.367.4356.

    As a professional Business Broker / M&A Advisor, I usually works with no more than two or three clients at any one time. Most of my engagements involve assisting owners of privately held companies [valued between $1M and $25M] sell their businesses - confidentially. When I find a business owner interested in selling his profitable business for market price, I have no problem finding buyers for my client. There are many people who want to own their own business, and Summit sells about 90% of the businesses they represent. [See "How to Value Your Business" below]A few of my engagements each year also involve assisting organizations find and acquire strategic acquisitions. Finding a business to acquire is very time-consuming, can be quite complex to find the right one, and follows a certain protocol to increase the likelihood of success. As a professional Business Broker / M& A Advisor focusing in these two areas, I save my clients considerable time and money - and tremendously increase the probability of their desired outcome.See my blog where I discuss such topics as: How to Sell Your Business, How to Value your Business, Increasing the Value of Your Business, M&A Terms, Business Transition Services, Exit Planning, and the Sellability of Your Business at http://summitacquisitions.com/blog/. Specialties: Business Acquisition, Business Brokerage, Business Valuation, Exit Planning, Deal Structure, Financial Analysis, Increase Business Value, Mergers & Acquisitions, Sellability of the Business, and Selling a Business.

  • Performance Printing
    President
    Performance Printing Apr 1984 - Aug 2003
    Atlanta, Ga
    After spending eight (8) years and public and private accounting, I wanted to own my own business – where I could make and keep the beans, not just count them. With the assistance and guidance of two KPMG partners, I purchased a modest size printing company 1980. With annual revenue of $700K and 8 employees, I worked just like my business-owner clients today – hiring and firing my own employees (without an H/R department), purchasing and leasing equipment (without a treasurer to crunch the numbers), beating the bushes and making cold calls to grow the business (without any sales or marketing VP’s), and managing the staff (without a degree in psychology). We eventually became the 10th largest single-location quick print company in America, with 33 employees and annual revenue of almost $4 million. However, while the Internet relentlessly drove down the prices of our printing services, the terrible unforeseen events of the fall of 2001 immediately shrunk the business to half its former size. While more fortunate than many similar size companies, I would someone to purchase my business – and I began a new career in 2002.While in the printing industry, I served for a number of years as a member of Board of Directors of the Printing Industry Association of Georgia - where I met a number of hard-working, smart, dedicated people who provided great perspective to me. Lesson: Get involved in your industry associations.
  • Dayton Power And Light
    Accounting Manager
    Dayton Power And Light Apr 1982 - Jan 1984
    Dayton, Ohio Area
    Supervised accounting department of public utility. There was no point in saving the company any expenses, as the Public Utility Commission would only lower the rates charged to our customers. Company officers were afraid to talk about nuclear energy, because the public was afraid after 3 Mile Island accident and the 1979 movie - The China Syndrome. I got out of that industry as quickly as I could.
  • Kpmg Peat Marwick
    Auditor
    Kpmg Peat Marwick Sep 1972 - Mar 1975
    Atlanta
    I worked primarily on the audits of companies with revenues between $5M and $50M. My most interesting assignment was to perform an acquisition audit [foreshadowing my current career] of a mulch manufacturing plant being purchased by Gillette. The story of how the sellers built their business to the size that would attract a public company is a classic story of two entrepreneurs-brothers (John & Mark) who would never give up.The business started as a worm farm, where they grew and sold worms, crawling in decomposing organic matter, to fishermen in the area. From this early business, they tapped into a growing local market for mulch – sold in local nurseries. They obtained their raw material from local pine tree logging companies, who wanted to dispose of the unusable bark. With ever growing piles of this free raw material, the John spent much time moving the piles with bulldozers to prevent the decomposing pile from catching on file. However, the normal oxidation process would not be denied, and John spent many hours putting out fires on their piles of mulch. Meanwhile, one of the brothers (Mark) started calling on major retailers to sell his popular product – which was packaged using a proprietary system developed by John. Despite staying in cheap hotels while visiting the buyers, eating from vending machines, and having very little success with the unpolished sales pitch of a Georgia farm boy, Mark would not give up. Eventually he was given the opportunity to stock his product in a few Wal-Marts, and the business took off like a rocket.
