Ben Calkins learned from a client that a local business, Fathom SEO, of which the client was the largest shareholder, was to be sold.
An investment banker from New York, specializing in the on-line marketing industry, had already been retained to find the best buyer for the business.
At the end of the day, the buyer of the business was a local group, Promise One, that Ben Calkins had referred to his client after he had learned of the group's interest in acquisitions generally, and in this industry in particular.
Ben Calkins assisted his client by bringing the ultimate buyer of this business to the table, assisting the investment banker, already retained, to identify the right and best buyer.
