We realize that selling your business is an emotional process that requires a great deal of thought and introspection. We have sold businesses ourselves and know the stress that can ensue as you move through the process of finding the most appropriate buyer or investor. Allowing Cardinal Equity Partners an opportunity to learn about your business is viewed as an honor, and we take it very seriously. As such, we will commit to you the following: 

• Complete confidentiality. We are happy to sign traditional non-disclosure agreements (a standard one can be downloaded here) and treat all discussions in the strictest of confidence. We understand the turmoil that can result with employees or competitors as a result of breaches of confidence and will do our utmost to assure complete discretion.
  
  
• Complete honesty. We are hoping you will be honest with us as you expose us to your business. We think it is only fair to be honest with you in how we think about the business or potential transaction.
  
  
• Fast turnaround. Our commitment is to make an informed, speedy decision about whether we should invest in your company. With a small number of decision makers, our process is efficient and does not get bogged down waiting for large investment committees to reach a consensus.
  
  
• Complete integrity and respect. We sincerely believe our most important asset is our reputation and will do whatever it takes to maintain it. That means treating you and your management team with respect and insuring that we always fulfill our commitments.
