Testimonials

“HINGE did a fantastic job in the acquisition of our company. We could not and would not have wanted to do it without your support. I will forever be appreciative of HINGE.”

- Zach Hansen, Growing Brilliant in California

"HINGE is the real deal. I have worked with other brokers in the industry before HINGE without any success. Henry Tiberi studied my situation, understood the business model, made several recommendations to market the center and quickly found success.”

- Dr. Roger Saillant, Pee Wee Patch Child Development Center in Michigan

“Mike Pepper handled the sale of our childcare business from start to finish. He flew out to meet with us, formulated a complete evaluation of our business; gave several useful suggestions to make the business more saleable and maximize profits; contacted and vetted potential buyers; and assisted with negotiations and worked with our attorneys until the completion of the sale. Selling the center was more complicated than we realized, but Mike was there every step of the way.“

- Diane & James Peters, The Caring Center in Wisconsin

“The sale of our center, from listing to closing, was extremely organized and smooth. HINGE was easy to work with and made the stress of finalizing a business so much easier on us. They answered questions and concerns quickly. If we had to do this whole process again, we wouldn’t change one thing. We highly recommend Henry, Carrie Pergerson and the HINGE team.”

- Bryan & Ginger Musick, Crossroad Kidz in Oklahoma

“The outpouring from the community has been astounding. I think that we were well prepared with our letter and social media postings. The HINGE team is truly amazing. I don't know how I would have gotten through the last 48 hours without Carrie. She is a true gem!”

- Rhonda Meyers, Heartfelt Impressions Learning Centers in Michigan

“I can't speak highly enough of my experiences with HINGE and encourage others in the child care industry to take advantage of the services this company offers.”

- Sharon Foster, Bells Ferry Learning Centers in Georgia
