What My Clients Say?

I worked with April purchasing a business from one of her clients. She reached out to me as a potential buyer knowing that I was in a similar industry. I was not looking to purchase a business at the time but after her call, I was interested in the growth potential of adding additional capabilities to my offering. Her understanding of both seller and buyer's needs were helpful in helping us narrow down a deal. I appreciated her optimism and willingness in making a deal happen for both clients. The transition was easy and she was a great help! I would recommend working with April and her team.

I am so grateful to have found a solution that provides our family legacy to continue, maintain employment for our committed employees, and allow our clients to move to a new and expanded business that we expect to grow and thrive into the future. Thanks to April & Transition Architects for finding a unique solution for a win-win outcome for all !!

It was a bumpy ride through 2020 but we stayed focused on the end goal and it feels great to have now successfully firmed up and commenced my company sale and exit strategy. I am pleased to continue supporting the new owners for the next couple of years with the transition and growth planned and really enjoy handing off the other stresses of business ownership to them!

Summit Ridge Capital worked with April Harbottle to facilitate the addition of a new business into our growing portfolio. April was engaged by the Sellers of the business, but worked closely with us as well, to understand and resolve many of the challenges that arose and we eventually achieved a win-win outcome for all. Given the competitive situation and differing priorities of the three owner-operators, we needed to create an offer and structure that met all needs, and differentiated and exceeded the competing offer. April’s input over several months helped to create an offer that successfully won over the Seller’s interest to engage.
