Our Businesses

Selling a company that you began and put your heart and soul into for over a decade is a daunting and stressful task. Looking back now I feel extremely fortunate to have opened this new chapter with Newbury Franklin Software. From the beginning of our conversations to the present, our partner has exuded professionalism, sincerity, and a sincere desire to develop a munually beneficial process. What also set them apart from others is the fact that they spent the time to understand our business as well as our future personal goals and those of our team. They structure an extremely well-thought-out and mutually beneficial plan that allowed me and our team to focus on the responsibilities that we enjoy and are uniquely suited to perform. I could not be any happier that we chose to write our next chapter with Newbury Franklin Software!
