Viking Mergers & Acquisitions of Charlotte - Charlotte, North Carolina

Haydn at Viking gave me incredible insight into how to position my business for a future sale—even though I’m not planning to sell anytime soon. He broke down what drives valuation, how buyers think, and what changes I can start making now to increase long-term value. You can tell he’s done this hundreds of times. Best part? He offers this kind of help for free, years before you’re ready to sell. Highly recommend having a conversation with him if you own a business.

Mark and Haydn represented our company tremendously! They attracted qualified buyers for us to consider and we received great value for our business. They were able to educate us on every facet of the transaction…no way we could have pulled this off without them. Throughout the process, there were ups & downs, but there was nothing they had never seen or been through before. Their experience level gave us a huge amount of confidence and peace of mind. I knew they had my back 100% in every situation.

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your professionalism and guidance during our recent transaction. From the beginning to the end of the process, Haydn and Mark were incredibly helpful in ensuring all parties were engaged, the transaction was moving forward and closing on the targeted date. I would highly recommend Viking Mergers and Acquisitions of Charlotte when looking to buy or sell a company.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for selling our business. You’ve assembled a great staff and we appreciate your expertise, guidance and patience. Kevin and Haydn did a great job of coordinating all aspects of this process to keep things moving forward. This is a complicated process and they worked countless hours to help us achieve the final result. Thanks again for your diligence. We’ll be sure to refer Viking to anyone that’s interested in buying or selling a business.

Our experience working through the process of buying a business with Viking was very pleasant. Buying a business has elements such as uncertainty, doubts and tension, however, Kevin Carlisle's knowledge of the business, his experience and his kindness were key to having transparency and confidence in the process and in all the information available. Thank you for all the support received.

My business was recently sold by Mike Donahue at Viking M&A of Charlotte. As a seller, I was impressed with the thorough and organized sale process to ensure the buyer had detailed due diligence. Mike and his assistant, Ryan, stayed on top of every detail throughout the sale. Thanks for getting the job done!

“Once I had decided to sell my company, I knew that the buyer needed to be someone with the same passion and concern for our employees and customers as I have. Viking matched the perfect buyer, whom I felt confident would carry on the same traditions we used to build our 42-year-old company. They walked me through the process every step, offering me the guidance and reassurance I needed. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.”

From the very first contact to completing closing and everything in between, these guys were absolutely top-notch! Their initial presentation was impressive, but yet not in a sales pitch kind of way. You could tell that they exuded experience, which was very important to me in navigating the potential sale of a very niche business yet they were still able to maintain just enough of a casual vibe and a high level of professionalism that made me comfortable.

I trusted their experience from the beginning and didn’t at any point feel pressured into making this very important decision. They brought a handful of qualified buyers to the table quicker than I expected and we were able to very smoothly reach an agreement and get to closing on the early end of their initial estimated timeline. I worked primarily with Haydn throughout the experience and really couldn’t have asked for anything more from him. He was always on time with anything he said he would deliver, always kept his word through the process, was invaluable in giving guidance and opinion when needed, and went above and beyond to get everything done in the 11th hour.

Mark was our senior advisor on the deal and again, everything about the experience with him was top-notch as well. I trusted in his experience, both as a broker, and as a business owner who has been through this process before and I really valued his opinions he shared with me throughout the process.

I highly recommend reaching out to Viking and talking with Mark and Haydn if you are even considering listing your business for sale. It doesn’t hurt to get their professional valuation presentation on your business and see if now is the right time for you. They shared with me from the start that their success rate is much higher than the typical broker in part because they don’t take on business they don’t know for sure they can sell. If you have any interest in, maybe selling, I highly recommend reaching out.

Lastly, I will add, their recommended partners (attorneys and bank) were fantastic to work with as well. If you do sell your business with Viking, definitely use their referred professionals to help get the deal done!

I wish I had another business ready to sell because I’d start the process all over again right now with these guys!
