"Working with Julie White and BlueKey Business Brokerage to sell my market research company was far easier than I ever imagined. In fact, I was afraid I would be in for a long sales period and a barrage of tasks and inquiries. Julie is so incredibly organized that I was able to bring the paperwork she needed together rather quickly based on her document process. In addition, I was very pleasantly surprised that within a few weeks she brought me multiple offers. The sale of my company happened quickly and efficiently. Throughout the process, Julie was supportive, knowledgeable, and dedicated to securing a good outcome for both me and the buyer."

-S. Fox, Former CEO

WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESSES; 10 MILLION STRONG!

"Selling my business with you was so easy! After dealing with the frustration of trying to sell my business myself, I'll never try to sell my other company without you! In fact, I have referred you to a fellow business owner so he can focus on running his business and not on trying to do something he has no experience with."

-K. Thompson, CEO,
Mad Rags, Inc.

When I first entered the business brokerage industry, I looked around the firm with which I was affiliated and the association of business brokers that I belonged to, and realized that there were very few women! After doing a little research, I learned that the typical business broker is a 54 year old male, which made sense in the past because that was also the profile of the typical business owner.

Today, women own over 10 million firms, generate over $2.5 trillion in sales and employ 19.1 million people! So when the time comes for a woman business owner to sell her "other baby", she deserves to work with a broker who understands not only her business life, but her whole life as well.

In addition to my business brokerage experience, I sat on the board of NAWBO (National Association for Women Business Owners), and previously produced and hosted a local cable television show featuring women business owners called Prerogative.

As a broker, wife and mother of 3, I have personally and proudly represented over 75 women sellers and buyers of businesses.
