Firm Biography

|
|
In May 2004, River’s Edge Alliance Group opened its first business brokerage office in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to assist business owners (with between $300,000 and $25 million in annual revenues) in the sale and ownership transfer of their businesses.
Led by its founding partners Scott Mashuda and Todd Torquato, the firm was quickly recognized for its open, honest, and trustworthy approach. At a time when the reputation of business brokers was strained and tattered, River’s Edge Alliance Group quickly established itself as the ethical and professional industry leader.
In January 2011, Mr. Mashuda and Mr. Torquato established a second business brokerage office in Cleveland, Ohio to expand the firm’s geographic footprint and assist even more business owners in converting their businesses into cash for retirement.
Today, with its ethical, professional and effective approach, the firm boasts an extensive track record of successful business sales and satisfied owners who have successfully exited, transitioned or acquired businesses with the assistance of River’s Edge Alliance Group.

How We Do It
River’s Edge Alliance Group is more than business brokers. We are transaction advisors. What does that mean? With every transaction we strive to differentiate ourselves by:
-
We work tirelessly to ensure that our client’s businesses are priced to create an active market while maximizing the client’s return. A successful transaction will occur when a business is priced at a level supportable by the company’s current net asset base and projected sustainable cash flow.
- Creating a Market
When you own stock in a publicly traded company an active market exists for you to sell your shares. When you hold ownership in a private company, there is not an active market readily available to sell your interest(s). The success or failure of your exit strategy depends on the success or failure of your ability to generate a market for your ownership share. Our professionals are well educated and highly experienced in creating an active market in which businesses can transact. We’ve done it before and we will do it again, our track record speaks for itself.
- Professional Business Brokers
The business brokers of River’s Edge Alliance Group have built their careers through a commitment to education, training and practical experience. Our high standards for excellence are demonstrated not only by our day to day work ethic but also through our commitment to industry organizations such as the International Business Brokers Association, the Pennsylvania Business Brokers Association and the Ohio Business Brokers Association.
