New ownership of local company blossoms from CDC program
McLean explained that he had looked into buying some local businesses on his own, prior to finding out about BizLink, but nothing came to fruition. “Every time I reached out to someone, things weren’t necessarily ready to go. They weren’t quite ready to sell, they didn’t know how, they didn’t know how to value the business,” he clarified.
But when McLean started working with BizLink, those dead ends miraculously disappeared. “I was able to reach out to a number of companies. I made an offer on a couple of companies which I didn’t get. I went through the process, probably when all is said and done, for about a year and a half. That process really helped me to narrow down what I was looking for, what size, what types of industries,” said McLean.
