| Our Business Development team works with independent
retail propane marketers of all sizes who are considering various succession
planning options, including that of selling their business. Inergy's
retail operations have grown rapidly since 1996 through the purchase
of quality independent propane retailers, having purchased more than
70 retailers
since our founding.
We Address Your Concerns
Why have so many business owners chosen to sell their propane operations
to Inergy? Because we address three primary areas of concern:
 |
Concern for your employees...
you want to ensure your loyal, long-term employees will continue to
have career opportunities in the future; |
| |
Concern for your customers...
it's important for you to be confident your customers will continue
to be well cared for; and |
| |
Concern for the legacy of your
company... you spent years of hard work building a company
with a solid reputation in your community. It's important for you
to know that reputation will remain in tact. |
Business owners also value the fact that we are committed to confidentiality,
even while conducting due diligence. Plus, we execute a deal quickly,
with very little fuss, and we'll work with you to structure a transaction
that reduces your tax burden.
We're Selective
At Inergy, we are very selective about the companies we purchase, and
have stringent criteria that guide us in that process. That criteria includes:
| |
Solid operating history
for several years |
| |
Outstanding local reputation
for customer service |
| |
Located in a high-growth market |
| |
A management team that
is ready and willing to stay on |
Because we pride ourselves on purchasing companies with a solid customer
base and great reputation in the markets they serve, the companies will
often retain their local brand name. So, in most cases the transition to
Inergy is completely transparent to the company's customers.
