"Muzzy sold my first national company, Academy Fire Protection, in 2012 for 30% more than I thought it was worth. He had over 145 books out and 40+ offers from companies all around the U.S. and some from Europe. Equity Transfers is now helping me on a second transaction for a hell of a lot more. I trust Mike and respect his opinion and work ethic. Muzzy has become a trusted business advisor. His background and business skill will never be replaced by a larger firm. Muzzy really cares."

"Equity Transfers did a great job selling our family's business and related real estate."
CEO, Frisby AerospaceFrisby Aerospace
"Equity Transfers found us the perfect buyer for our Industrial real estate. Great consultancy. Muzzy is a Tough Negotiator."
Cherry Lane LithoIndustrial Real Estate Sale
"Mike's CPA background was a real plus in the sale of our company."
Rick Sencer, PresidentLong Island Staple
"I feel like Mike gave me a Graduate Degree in M&A at Muzzy University. It took 3½–4 years, start to finish. We had a lot to do to get ready for a sale — between understanding what buyers need and what financial information is required. No one I have ever met has such a deep understanding of accounting, financial statements, and working capital calculations. Mike patiently worked through the sales process with us and we wound up having a great outcome."
Brian Robertson, PresidentNorthrock Industries
"Mike is the real deal. I recommend him all the time. When Shelly (owner) passed suddenly, Mike took over the role of Interim CEO to keep the company going. We were afraid and lost, but Mike fearlessly led the way. Everyone was kept employed, the business was streamlined, and employees and customers felt confident with the amazing continuity of business. We were actually running better than in the past. We purchased another competitor and gained new products and grew market share. We all made more money because of growing sales. After a year of improvement, Mike discreetly sold the company to a Nationwide Industrial Packaging company. We all kept our jobs and Shelly's widow was able to monetize her inheritance. Mike subsequently sold the company's operating facility as we relocated to new space."
Paul Pileggi, Wrap-N-PackIndustrial Packaging
"After my husband passed, Mike found us a great buyer for our Building Materials business with a Private Equity backed national outfit that was unknown to us."
Holly CohenBuilding Materials
"After over 50 years in business, our industry was changing and our family business could not keep doing business the same way in our Specialty Food Distribution company. We had large amounts of inventory, high accounts receivable, large payables and rising overhead costs. But we didn't know how to make a positive change — we were all tired and beaten. We knew Mike from his days as our CPA. We got Equity Transfers to help us. They reorganized our business into saleable segments and we were able to reorganize and continue as a new asset-light business model with the largest wholesale grocer in America. That company wound up handling all the overhead and freed us up to just maintain our business with what we do best: sell and service. We were able to survive and continue taking care of our families because of this."
Moe Kolpen, Kolpen DistributorsSpecialty Food Distribution
"I know Mike since 1990 when he was the CFO of Bennett. Equity Transfers sold my company in February 2020 right before Covid. We got a great transaction done and my partners and I are very happy!"
Bob DeLuca, Labcrafters
"I know many of his clients. My experience is that Mike always does the right thing for his clients. He has a great reputation and I recommend his counsel."
Scott Albarella, BNY Mellon
"Mike found my struggling client a "Rust-Belt" buyer that successfully relocated the business from Long Island. My client was enabled to unlock the wealth in their valuable Nassau County real estate."
Leslie Levine, Attorney
"Mike found me a great Midwest buyer for my slumping jewelry import and distribution business. I didn't think it was possible. I was able to retire with peace."
Andy Ban, OwnerJewelry Import & Distribution
"Mike helped me sell two different Facilities Management companies with successful outcomes. He is masterful at finance and accounting and is a formidable Negotiator."
Joe Scaretta, CEOFacilities Management
"Mike went through our financials thoroughly, understanding and explaining required changes to us. It was eye-opening and he did a great job, trained a new CFO for us, helped streamline the business and ultimately sold our business, exceeding our expectations."
Jean V.Former Client
