Some Thoughts from Our Clients
“Mike
Chase at Health Business Partners has been an important relationship for
The Shansby Group. We value his insight, guidance, and assistance in
evaluating investment opportunities in natural foods, OTC and personal
care. Mike is a thought-leader in these categories and has built strong
relationships with industry leaders. In 2004, HBP advised us in the
acquisition of a $70 million fast-growing healthy foods company. I would
recommend HBP to anyone, buyer or seller, if they are contemplating a
transaction.”
Alexander S. Panos
Partner, The Shansby Group
"The HBP team has
the highest integrity - they take the utmost care to ensure that each
client receives the best possible service and they are conscientious in
explaining and avoiding potential conflicts of interest. Over the years
that we have been building our business, we have been contacted by
dozens of investment bankers and business brokers offering M&A advice.
None hold a candle to HBP.
The hands-on
personal support that we have received from Roy Bingham, in particular,
has been a major contribution to our success in identifying and closing
five acquisitions during 2004. Whether you are a potential buyer or
seller, I wholeheartedly recommend HBP to advise you on how to execute a
good transaction."
Armand Dauplaise,
President and CEO, Bio-One Corporation

"Twice now I have turned to
Roy Bingham at Health Business Partners for ongoing counsel as I built
my businesses. His knowledge of the nutritional supplements and natural,
organic and functional foods industry coupled with his consulting, big
business and entrepreneurial background immediately adds great value to
my team. With Custom Nutrition Services, HBP provided very practical
hands-on guidance that helped me improve overall business performance.
When the time came to contemplate a sale they knew exactly how to
characterize the opportunity to the right buyer and negotiated an
attractive sale to drugstore.com. Now that I am building another
business - The Organic Holding Company; I have immediately turned to HBP
as an integral part of my team."
Jason Brown, owner and
CEO of The Organic Holding Company and Organic To Go and founder and
former owner and CEO of Custom Nutrition Services
"When
selecting a firm for our acquisition search we turned to HBP because of
their experience and professionalism. Their resourcefulness in
identifying potential candidates, insightful analysis while screening
approved targets and finally their sensitive diligence as intermediaries
were all instrumental in our successful transactions. They are a firm
with very high ethical standards and I would strongly recommend them to
anyone seeking professional expertise in our industry."
Norman Cloutier, Managing Director of
Thorn Ledge Investments, Chairman of Fairfield Farm Kitchens and former
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of United Natural
Foods, Inc.

"Health Business Partners
performed a thorough, comprehensive review to understand Zand's needs
and served as both a financial and strategic advisor to us. Their
industry network and acquisition know-how were invaluable to finding us
the right partner. HBP recognized and marketed our true brand value.
Their advice, guidance and professionalism was extraordinary."
Caryn Ellison, CEO of McZand Herbal,
Inc.
"Health
Business Partners brought a level of professionalism and thoroughness to
the sale process that gave us great confidence in an attractive
conclusion. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others seeking
advice."
David Kulow, President, Oakmont Laboratories
"We
were able to continue to operate our business, confident that Health
Business Partners was acting energetically and thoroughly to protect our
best interests. Ultimately, we are very pleased with the outcome and our
new partners. As I have now learned, the process of selling your company
can be stressful and exhausting. It was a tremendous relief to me and my
team to be able to entrust so much of the process to the professionals
at Health Business Partners."
Peggy Brevoort, President & CEO, East
Earth Herb, Inc.
