"I teamed-up with Neil Advani to finance a gas station transaction in Northern California. I work as a Business Development Officer for the SBA (Small Business Administration) division of a bank. The deal was quite complex as Neil was the chief negotiating intermediary between multiple borrowers, the seller (a multi-million dollar leading petroleum refiner and wholesaler distributor), the seller’s legal council as well as the bank. I can honestly say that Neil’s diligence, proficiency, expertise and sheer fortitude is what ultimately led to the successful fulfillment of the transaction. In the time that I have known Neil, I have found him to be an extremely knowledgeable, forthright and efficient Business Consultant. I would strongly recommend Neil Advani to anyone in the market for a commercial or SBA related transaction.”

"As a lender, I have always admired the way Neil has represented his clients with thorough, extremely detailed business plans and proformas that leave little room for additional questions. It is this understanding of his clients and the market place that make him a known commodity for getting difficult deals done. It is a pleasure to work with Neil."

I was a first time Buyer looking for a Business. I currently own PAL's Liquors in Sausalito, CA. This was purchased through Neil Advani who was both my Business Broker and Loan Broker. Neil is extremely knowledgable in all aspects of the transfer process. This was a very difficult deal because although the business was profitable, the Seller's Tax returns were haphazard. Hence, financing was a major problem. Neither the Seller nor his previous broker were able to obtain financing. Neil effectively packaged the deal including a full financial analysis, where he was able to convince a lender. He coordinated the entire loan through closing. He also effectively coordinated a 20 year lease with the landlord at a starting rate lower than the previous tenant. He has a strong background in Finance and Business. All representations made were accurate about current status and future potential. My sales and profits are significantly higher than when I bought the store. He is an exceptionally qualified and ethical broker. I have no reservations if anyone wishes to contact me about my experiences in dealing with Neil.

I owned SHOP RITE Liquors in Fremont, CA. I had a Seller carry back note with a Balloon payment that needed refinancing. I approached every lender and broker that I was referred to and they were unable to help me. Although the Business was profitable the PL's were not in a format acceptable to the lenders. Neil Advani interfaced with the accountants to present the PL in a format acceptable to the lenders. There were also residency issues since I was not a Green Card holder. Neil researched this and suggested that I incorporate with a US resident to conform to SBA policies. He coordinated the entire loan process through closing. I am very impressed with his capabilities and am recommending him without any reservations.

I was a first time Buyer looking for a Business. I currently own U Save Liquors in Novata CA. This was purchased through Neil Advani who was both my Business Broker and Loan Broker. Neil is extremely knowledgable in all aspects of the transfer process. This was a very difficult deal due to ABC license suspension issues and financing. Neither the Seller nor his previous broker were able to obtain financing or the necessary ABC clearances for transfer. Neil effectively coordinated the ABC transfer through his associated attorneys. He has a strong background in Finance and originated and packaged the loan including detailed cash flow analyses amd secured funding on a very difficult deal. All representations made were accurate. He is an exceptionally qualified and ethical broker. I have no reservations if anyone wishes to contact me about my experiences in dealing with Neil.
