Testimonials
I recently worked on a deal with The Tenney Group. I found their transaction team to be extremely detail oriented and knowledgable of the trucking industry. I would recommend anyone considering buying or selling a trucking business to work with The Tenney Group.
James Perry, Optimum Trucking & Optimum Transport, Dallas, TX
My partner and I hired The Tenney Group to help us accomplish three specific transaction goals. The Tenney Group allowed us to achieve all three goals in 42 days.
Russ Cooke, Former owner of TCI Worldwide, Boston, MA
My partner and I hired The Tenney Group to help us handle some partnership issues. We found The Tenney Group’s “TransValuation” to be a very reliable business value assessment, and we believe The Tenney Group went above and beyond what is typically expected in a business appraisal. I would highly recommend The Tenney Group to all transportation business owners who need an accurate and affordable business valuation. When you can work with industry experts, it just doesn’t make sense to call on anyone but The Tenney Group.
Matthew Berger, Owner of California Party Bus, San Diego, CA
Although The Tenney Group represented the seller, they clearly added value to Village’s transaction experience.
Jeff Arensdorf, Owner of Village Tours & Travel, Wichita, KS
The Tenney Group was very professional and resourceful throughout the process. They provided a number of solutions that allowed me to enhance my sale result while creatively reducing my overall transaction expenses.
Ron Legleiter, Former Owner of All American Tours, Hays, KS
I allowed a local broker to try to sell my bus business for a year. After no results, I hired the industry specialist. If I would have called The Tenney Group sooner, I would have saved a lot of time and avoided a lot of hassles.
Dallas Liles, Former Owner of Salina Charter Coach, Salina, KS
The most valuable thing The Tenney Group brought to the sale process was their knowledge of the transportation industry. I was also very impressed by how quickly they executed the sale of my company—90 days.
Mike Hafferty, Former Owner of Touch of Elegance, Inc., Boston, MA
The Tenney Group delivered a cash offer for my ambulance business that was 100% of my asking price within 30 days of listing my business.
Jesus Contreras, former owner of Eagle EMS, Houston, TX
Over a year ago, The Tenney Group provided my company a TransValuation. The investment has proven to be worthwhile. The Tenney Group provided me a reliable value assessment for my business that we have utilized numerous times in our dealings with financial institutions and in our strategic planning for the future. The Tenney Group’s industry and transaction expertise adds unique value that is well beyond what is expected from a typical business appraisal.
Jim Galusha, Silverado Stages, CA
We actually owned two different transportation companies 80 miles apart. For the first one, we sold it ourselves to a competitor, and the transaction did not go well. We had a difficult time throughout the entire process. I feel the purchaser definitely received the better end of the deal. When the time came to sell our second company, we engaged the services of The Tenney Group. Within 90 days they had found a large metropolitan operator who bought our entire operation in less than a couple months. Thank you very much TTG…
John Palmucci, former owner Town & Country Limousine & Bus service, NY
Charles Tenney and The Tenney Group have helped me to grow my business by seeking out new opportunities. Charles is an expert at analyzing a transportation company's expenses, and finding ways to be more efficient. The Tenney Group’s many years of experience is unparalleled. I rely on Charles to guide me to run a smarter and more profitable transportation company.
Steve Spencer, President- London Town Cars
Charles convinced me, given the stage of our business cycle, that growth by acquiring other businesses was a viable option. Then Charles proved it by guiding me through several transactions. Growing our customer base by acquisitions has proven to be cheaper, faster and easier than other strategic options. I am convinced that without these acquisitions, Sterling Rose Transportation would not be in business today.
Steve Levin, Owner “Sterling Rose Transportation” San Diego, CA
The most valuable thing The Tenney Group brought to the table was the network of potential buyers. Even though we could have found someone local to assist in our sale/merger process, Spencer Tenney and Charles Tenney just knew so many more people in the industry that were potential buyers.
Steve Begin, Owner of King Limousine Farmington, CT
The Tenney Group understood how to protect my confidentiality throughout the sale process. As a result, TTG was able to contact and negotiate deals with buyers I would have never have been able to approach directly. And I would have certainly not been able to secure the deal terms TTG got for me.
Mick Cole, Former Owner of Heartland Tour & Travel/Elite Coach, North Platte NE
The value of TTG’s industry expertise was evident throughout every stage of the sale process. They delivered multiple offers from across the country in less than 60 days. They provided outside the box operational expertise that improved the value of the business. They worked very hard for us. Charles Tenney & Spencer Tenney are true professionals.
Sean Stephens, Former Investment Manager at Virgin Management USA
The Tenney Group sold my by business in less than three months. After spending an hour with a buyer who had previously expressed no interest in buying my business, Charles Tenney had that same buyer drawing up a contract. It is amazing that anyone could sell a business this fast during a recession. Charles Tenney is a man of high integrity, and I would recommend The Tenney Group to any transportation business owner.
Danielle Steel, Former Owner of Katy Cab and Limo, Houston, TX
Before hiring The Tenney Group, I tried selling my business on my own for several months. That experience allowed me to fully appreciate the importance of working with an industry expert when selling a transportation business. If you are selling a transportation business, you will save a lot of time and money by hiring The Tenney Group.
Randy Zepp, Former Owner of Classic Limo & Sedan Service, Tallahassee, FL
The Tenney Group went above and beyond to help me sell my business fast and at a fair price. TTG’s willingness to work with me outside of normal business hours was critical to maximizing my business sale in a timely manner—70 total days to complete deal.
Carm Licata, Former owner Mirage/All-Pro Limousine, Chicago, IL
I recently used the services of The Tenney Group to represent me in the sale of my half of my limousine company to my partner. Through a difficult negotiation, Charles always had inventive ways to break through stalemates. He has a unique way of simplifying a situation to create the movement necessary to close a deal.
Charles is a great coach and a tough, but fair negotiator. He has a deep and abiding respect for people and a sense of humor that helps to move things along to a successful conclusion.
Mike Stein, former co-owner, All County Limousine, Bellmore , NY
Charles is a Christian that practices Christian principals and values throughout the entire relationship. Charles negotiated a final sale price that was almost triple my initial asking price. The TTG team maintained strictest confidentiality, and kept me informed during the entire process. My Delaware limousine service was sold in less than 4 months.
Gregg Tweddell, Emerald Limousine, DE
The Tenney Group was excellent at facilitating our deal from the get-go. They were very professional and kept us on track through the entire process. I wouldn’t recommend anyone purchase a transportation company without The Tenney Group involved.
Wesley Hart, American Corporate Transportation, Houston, TX
It was awesome! I am surprised it went as quickly as it did. The timing was perfect for us.
Shane Kogan, Black Tie Limousine, Houston, TX
The Tenney Group changed my life.
