Testimonials

Our experiences define our identity

Over the past 25-plus years, we have grown to one of the largest and most successful M&A firms in North America.

“When the decision to sell was made, we reached out to Alex Winant of TransFunds M&A. We discussed potential buyers, market conditions, and the optimal timing for the sale. Our history with Alex goes back to 2012 when he and his team assisted us in selling a previous specialized transportation company. With his industry expertise and effective marketing strategies, we had multiple offers to choose from and were able to sell quickly. 
In 2022, we once again collaborated with Alex and his team. They used our financials and equipment list to craft a professional marketing plan. Generating several offers, they helped us identify the best match for our company and employees, ultimately selecting a buyer capable of ensuring a successful deal. From offer acceptance to closing, only 120 days transpired. We attribute this success to Alex and his team, without whom this achievement wouldn’t have been possible. Our heartfelt appreciation for a job excellently executed.”
– Mark and Lisa Kreplin, Owners Premium Ventures Inc.
“We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional service provided by Alex Winant and the TransFunds M&A Team. We wholeheartedly recommend them to any Specialized Transportation Company seeking top-tier M&A services. They truly go above and beyond to deliver results. The TransFunds M&A Team did an outstanding job of engaging the potential buyers early to create a competitive process. They invested significant time in learning our value proposition, the nature of our business model, and financial position, and strategically marketed our Transportation Company to the right people. While they remained focused on the deal, we managed to sustain our business operations smoothly. The team was well-coordinated and worked tirelessly through the close, helping Ulch Transport maximize its value. Overall, it was a great experience!”
– Mark and Lisa Kreplin, Owners Premium Ventures Inc.
“We are very grateful to TransFunds M&A for all the hard work and expertise that they put into selling our business. Prior to meeting with Alex, we wasted so much time and money. We were spinning our wheels trying to sell SM Freight privately. Alex and the TransFunds team brought us a great opportunity while sourcing multiple offers. They were always prompt to respond and supported us throughout the entire process.  We are so pleased with the outcome. The TFI team is beyond impressive. We are very pleased after our first week of transition; it went much better than we could’ve imagined.”
– Wendie & Steve Hibbert, Owners
“We initially hired a Broker to sell our business, Laser Transport. This Broker did not have the expertise to move any offers past the initial stages. After wasting 3 valuable years and lots of money with this Broker, we decided to seek out alternative avenues for selling. Upon several meetings with Alex Winant of TransFunds Investment Banking, we signed on. Alex and his team of experts were able to drive the entire process from start to finish in just under 6 months. Thank you, Alex. You are a pleasure to work with!”
– Angelo Pernasilici, CEO, Laser Transport, Inc.

“Alex Winant and the TransFunds team had been pursuing me about selling the company for years. After some reflection, we finally made the decision in September to go ahead and sell. I started by reaching out to some of the other M&A firms to find out about them and their process for selling a business. One or two seemed promising. However, after meeting with Alex and with several follow-up conversations, I was convinced that TransFunds M&A would yield the best results given their focus on flatbed and bulk. I watched some friends try to sell their businesses over the last few years and I recognized right away that Alex and his team had a solid system for marketing, vetting, negotiating, contracting, and closing deals. Before long, we were sorting through a handful of strong offers, soon settled on one, and began the closing process. Having gotten through that, we’re now with a company that is proving to be an exciting fit. Onward!”
– Cole Hanley, President, South Shore Transportation Co.

“We are very happy that we employed TransFunds M&A to confidentially market, negotiate, and close the sale of our transportation company. The process was very complex, time consuming, and lengthy. Their industry knowledge, contacts, experience, and expertise ensured that we received maximum value in a timely manner. We strongly recommend TransFunds M&A to any Owner contemplating selling their specialized transportation company.”
– Keith & Mary Kay Carpenter – Carpenter Liquids Transporters Owners

“Thanks to the knowledge and expertise of TransFunds Mergers & Acquisitions, we were able to bring the share sale of our transportation company to a successful close in a timely fashion. Their guidance through the process was invaluable.”
– Cathy and Carey Halovich, Owners of Driving Force Deck’s Int’l Ltd.

“We are so grateful to TransFunds for facilitating the sale of our 2nd generation Flat Deck Company. During the acquisition process, we received multiple offers, which gave us the opportunity to choose the perfect one for us. What sets TransFunds apart from all the competition is that they negotiate and manage the deal from the Initial Sign Up to the Letter of Intent and all the way to the Closing of the Deal. TransFunds Investment Banking is highly recommended by both of us.”
– Mike and Pete Thompson, Owners of Tombro Trucking

“We are exceptionally happy with M&A divestiture services provided by TransFunds. We achieved exceptional value for the Shareholders, Employees and Customers of ARL. Selling a Transportation company is a very complicated, intense process. Transfunds expertly guided us through the prospectus/analytics preparation, targeted marketing list, confidential marketing/negotiations, Letters of Intent, dealing with all of the complexities/pitfalls, due diligence, closing and post-merger integration plan, in short they managed the entire process to a successful conclusion. We highly recommend using TransFunds to any Owner who wants to sell their Transportation company.”
– Kevin Bridges, Bob Wellman, and Lisa Wellman – ARL Owners
“When we decided the time was right to sell our business, we contacted TransFunds M&A as they have a reputation for getting deals done. The process is typically complicated, stressful, and time-consuming, and despite a very challenging Socio-Economic environment (Covid-19), TransFunds M&A received multiple offers for us from well qualified potential buyers. Ultimately, we decided on the firm that was the most compatible “fit” in terms of service, operations, culture, vision/values, and provided the best future for our employees and clients. TransFunds M&A managed the entire process and kept the transaction and all parties on track to a successful closing. Well done TransFunds!!!”
– John Kingma, President of Empire Transportation Ltd.

“When we decided to divest of our legacy Chemical Tank Trucking Operation, we thought we had all the resources to sell the operations on our own. Although there was some interest, the offers were not compelling. After we met Alex, and enlisted TransFunds M&A, we received multiple offers and finalized a deal for millions of dollars more than our initial offers. We highly recommend Alex Winant and the TransFunds Investment Banking Team!”
– Steve Dehmlow, CEO of GLS Transport, Division of Synergy 55/Composities One
