The collaboration with Peter and his team was highly professional and led to a successful business sale. Peter impressed with his expertise, commitment, and appreciative communication, which made the entire process much smoother. The sale was completed stress-free and within a short time. I highly recommend him without reservation.

Owner of an E-Commerce Outdoor Company

Before working with Venture Advisory Partners, I was unsure whether consulting for a business sale would be worth it. Today, I know that without this investment, the sale would never have been so successful. Mr. Nadolinski and Mr. Balsys exceeded my expectations. Within just eight months, a stress-free sale took place, allowing me to choose the ideal buyer from multiple interested parties.

Michael H

With great dedication, we built our premium brand in the cat food and cat furniture sector. Thanks to VAP’s support, we received numerous buyer inquiries and found the ideal buyer to carry our vision forward. The sale was professionally managed, resulting in a win-win situation for all parties involved. Without VAP, we would not have achieved this fantastic outcome.

Working with Peter Nadolinski as an external CFO was a real asset. He provided full transparency on our financial situation and identified key levers for increasing profitability. The financial plan he developed gave us, for the first time, a strategic management tool. Peter's expertise and clear communication delivered real added value – highly recommended!

To plan my succession, I was looking for a buyer who would continue my life's work and be a good personal fit. Mr. Nadolinski and his team impressed me with their professionalism and extensive expertise. The sales process was nearly stress-free and successfully completed within nine months. I found the ideal buyer and sold at an attractive price.
