Truforte Business Group and Tiger Brokerage Group Form Affiliation

Online, September 23, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Bruce Pockrandt of Truforte Business Group and Ed Towers of Tiger Brokerage Group jointly announced that their companies have affiliated to expand their markets. Trufote Business Group has primarily been focused in Southwest Florida on what would be considered main street business brokerage, where as Tiger Brokerage Group is more focused on the Middle Market mergers & acuisitions. Since there is such a small amount of business that actually overlaps this affiliation puts Truforte Business Group in a position to become engaged in middle market M&A intermediary transactions. Tiger Brokerage Group in turn will have the benefit of becoming more involved with the main street.

Tiger Brokerage Group is a mergers and acquisitions advisory firm located in Naples. As a middle market intermediary, Mr. Towers is involved in valuations, brokering and exit planning. One of only 80 Master Intermediaries in the world and a Certified Business Intermediary, Ed has a distinguished track record of over 300 M&A transactions. His career in mergers and acquisitions spans 28 years. Ed earned his B.S. in Business Administration from the Ohio State University and an MBA from Xavier. He recently relocated to Naples from Chicago. The Towers family also owns Precast Keystone in Naples.

Truforte Business Group is a Florida Business Broker with brokerage experience in assisting buyers and sellers with the sale and purchase of businesses throughout Southwest Florida since 1994. Ed's affiliation will allow the pursuit of M&A middle market opportunities through out Florida. For more information about Truforte Business Group visit www.TruforteBusinessGroup.com.
