Emmet did an outstanding job in helping me sell my small business. He was there to guide me through the entire process step-by-step. I believe he is honest, trustworthy and hard-working. Emmet returns phone calls and emails promptly and I know he was working long hours. There is more to selling your business than I first imagined and I am glad Emmet was there with his experience and knowledge. I highly recommend Emmet if you are considering selling your business!

Words cannot express our gratitude to Emmet and team for helping us to sell our 30+ year old advertising agency. I'm not exaggerating when I say, we simply could never have completed this goal without Emmet, his wisdom, his counsel, his expertise, his commitment and time spent and his friendship.

When we began the journey of exiting the business, we select a different broker. This brought a deal to the table, yes. But it turned out to be fueled by a buyer team that was highly unethical. For us, we wanted a buyer that would take care of our clients and our team, helping them to continue to grow and flourish.

More than 10 deals in a very short period of time, we cut through the complexities with Emmet expertise, and leaned on him a great deal. Tara and Emmet were always there, often round the clock, to take care of us. If an exit is in your future, please ONLY consider Sunbelt. And, if you have additional questions, you can reach me through my email, which Emmet has my permission to share.

My wife and I worked with Emmet to purchase a business last year. Emmet and his team were responsive, professional, and transparent at every step. Buying a business is complex, Emmet smoothed the process by building trust between us and the buyer. Would highly recommend for anyone serious about buying or selling a business.

I have worked with Emmet Apolinario on two different occasions - when I bought my business and then when I sold the business years later. As a first time buyer and seller he was very patient with explaining the processes and steps and making sure all the i's were dotted and t's were crossed. He always made himself available and made me feel as if I was his only client. He got successful deals done. Emmet is the hardest working person I know! I highly recommend hiring Emmet whether you are buying or selling.

I could not recommend Emmet and his team enough. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable and understood the key items for both the buyers and sellers. He represented the sellers in my transaction, but you could tell he felt responsibility for the entire transaction and helped coach me along the way. He has been and still is an incredible resource and I’m grateful for all he has done to make this a smooth transition. You are in wonderful hands with Emmet!

Sunbelt Business Brokers was instrumental in helping me sell my small business. The business was a true "niche" business - fire truck parts, and Sunbelt, through Emmet Apolinario, were more than equal to the task. Emmet was attentive and thorough. Communication to both the buyer and seller was excellent and questions were resolved promptly. What made the service provided by Sunbelt and Emmet truly stand out was the educational effort made by Emmet for both the buyer and seller to help them understand what their roles were, what the expectations were, and what an acceptable deal would look like. The greatest compliment I can extend is to say there were no surprises, as the seller, I always understood where we were in the process and what any subsequent steps would be. Emmet and Sunbelt made this whole experience very positive and I highly recommend Sunbelt Business Brokers and Emmet Apolinario if you are thinking about selling your business.

I highly recommend Emmet and Sunbelt if you're looking to sell your business. Emmet was professional, informative and thorough throughout the process. He worked hard to find us the exactly the buyer and the deal we were hoping for!
