Referral Program

Chip Emerson values the trust of his colleagues, clients, and professional partners. Many of his best relationships begin with a simple introduction from someone who knows a business owner well and believes they may benefit from a confidential conversation about value, timing, or transition planning.

If you know a business owner who may be considering a sale, succession planning, a valuation, or an ownership transition, Chip would be glad to speak with them. He often helps owners who are planning ahead, not just those who are ready to sell today. Early conversations can lead to better preparation, better marketability, and better outcomes.

Who is a good referral?

Chip is often a good fit for business owners who are:

  • Thinking about selling within the next 6 to 36 months.
  • Wondering what their business may be worth.
  • Preparing for retirement, family succession, or a partner transition.
  • Looking for ways to improve value before going to market.
  • Facing a transition that may involve real estate or other related planning.
