About Tom Charron

Tom is a Merger & Acquisition Intermediary specializing in representing sellers and buyers of Commercial Building Maintenance Services, which includes all aspects of building maintenance such as commercial janitorial, window washing, HVAC, landscaping, parking lot sweeping etc. Tom also specializes in metal fabrication businesses as well as other types of related manufacturing businesses. Tom’s 30+ years of business ownership, and the subsequent sale of his businesses, gives him a deep understanding of what an owner is going through when contemplating the sale of his/her business. His multiple ownership experiences give him the ability to advise sellers on how to prepare the business for sale. These experiences have underscored for Tom the importance of building and quarterbacking a team of professionals (transaction attorney, real property and estate attorneys, wealth managers, CPAs and tax specialists) to make sure his clients get to keep the lion’s share of the price received for the business. Along with his association with M&A Business Advisors, Tom brings a wealth of experience that he can tap at any time the need arises. See Tom’s experience below.
