"From the very beginning of the sale process, we knew that we would need an investment banking advisor that possessed the broad industry knowledge to understand our business and government market expertise to find potential buyers who recognized our current market presence and its potential for future growth. I could not have been more pleased with the process that Chertoff Capital ran and to ultimately be partnered with Valiant. From my seat, this was a home run transaction." - Larry Wade, President and Founder, Alliance Technical Services, Inc.
