Where Sellers Turn for Unmatched Expertise

919-881-9997

Bruce Deerson, President of Entrust, has successfully negotiated business sales with a total value of more than $760 million. A former attorney with 25 years of legal experience, Bruce served as Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary of an New York Stock Exchange company. His achievements and qualifications were recognized by the American Arbitration Association, which selected him to become an arbitrator on their Commercial Panel. He's a negotiator and is a Certified Mediator in North Carolina. In that capacity, he has assisted in resolving a broad range of business disputes.

In his role as business broker, Bruce does not act as a lawyer. However, his knowledge of legal issues combined with his business experience allow him to creatively solve problems that may arise during the sales process, thus enabling a higher success rate in reaching closing.

Anne Pagano is a CPA who has served as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of various companies. As a result, she brings to Entrust's clients extensive knowledge of management, finance, marketing, and business issues. Anne is also an entrepreneur, having owned and managed her own companies. Because she is a CPA, she is able to provide particular insight into analyzing and recasting financial statements, evaluating tax issues arising from sales, and dealing with financial issues that may arise during the sales process.

Dave Michelich holds a B.A. in Economics as well as an M.B.A. He is the former President and owner of two highly profitable, successful businesses. In addition to managing his own companies, Dave has applied his business skills in several senior Finance and Commercial positions at a Fortune 5 corporation for over 25 years, including a three-year European assignment.

If you're thinking about selling your business, we can help.

Entrust brings unmatched expertise and professional representation to sellers of businesses in the Triangle area, including Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill, as well as Eastern North Carolina. If you have a business elsewhere in North Carolina, we may be able to help, either directly or through a referral.

We offer confidential services, bring you only qualified buyers, and can assist in buyer financing. And, as a result of our extensive experience and professional qualifications, we offer you the peace of mind that comes from knowing the sale of your business is in the best possible hands.

Entrust also works with buyers to help identify businesses that meet their criteria. If we don't have a business that meets buyers' needs, we will undertake a search for one. We don't believe in charging buyers for this effort because it's part of our basic job to find those businesses, and, as a result, we don't see any reason buyers should have to pay us to do what we'd do anyway.
