Working with Sequeira, they doubled my expectations from when I first considered selling. They got me to understand the value and helped me to negotiate a good deal that ultimately means more channels for our product, resources to grow and the ability to focus on new technology. Sequeira understood the vision, my company’s culture and what makes us special. And it was something they did very well.

What we appreciated about Sequeira Partners, is how the team took time to understand our company, how we work and our leadership style. Then, they took all of that and married it with the culture of the various parties. That’s ultimately what led us to find the right partner – and value that went far beyond the spreadsheets. Sequeira’s relationships are what really stood out. We needed someone we could trust – and quickly. Sequeira became an integral part of our team and our most trusted advisors.

I have worked with Sequeira’s competitors, so I know who else is out there and how they do things. Sequeira is the best there is. Their teams are a big differentiator. In their line of work, they have to be good at a lot of things. They have people with the technical know-how, but who are also personable with clients and willing to work all night if they have to. That’s what makes them unique – the strength of their teams from the bottom to the top.

Ecofish was my life’s work. If I was going to sell, I wanted to do it right. I chose Sequeira and got a top-quality, organized and detail-oriented team who gave us their complete and undivided attention. As a scientist, it’s my job to always be critiquing. We deal with all kinds of consultants and very few rise to the same level of professionalism as Sequeira Partners.

My number one piece of advice for someone selling their company would be to stress how important it is to surround yourself with a very strong advisory team. There are things that are going to come at you that you never would have anticipated, and there's rationale and logic as to why those things come at you, and their expertise is disseminating that information and the importance and relevance of it. Sequeira's team was professional, reputable, transparent—top notch quality individuals. They're just great people. It was a pleasure working through the process with them. And they became part of our team.

Sequeira understands the oil and gas and construction spaces extremely well. They have deep connections. The Sequeira team have proven themselves to me—and a lot of my peers—on more than one occasion. Their track record speaks for itself. I trust them to do the job.

Without having Sequeira at the deal, it would be impossible to focus on the best possible outcome. The process is overwhelming, and it is easy to get obsessed with details that aren’t that important to the deal at hand. I have absolutely no regrets about hiring Sequeira, they provided lots of good advice along the way. And as time went on, I just became more and more convinced that thanks to them we were going to get the best possible deal, the best possible outcome.
