Visit my website at www.vrgatewaystl.com to learn more about my business and the services I offer to business sellers and business buyers. Hello! My name is Jeff Kalil and it would be an honor to work with you! I am the owner and principal broker of VR Gateway Business Brokers of St. Louis, your #1 resource for information, advice, and services for starting, growing, buying, or selling a business. VR stands for Valued Representation. My promise to you is to provide a buying or selling experience based on professionalism, values, and results. I understand how you feel about buying or selling a business. How could I know how you feel? Because I went through it myself many times! I have been on both sides of these transactions and I was often frustrated with the lack of respect, the lack of communication, and/or the lack of professionalism I experienced at both the corporate level or at the private level when conducting business transactions. There were times when I felt frustrated, confused, and alone. I was not sure who I could trust and all I wanted was the best outcome for me, both personally and professionally, and I wanted to make the best decisions for the well-being of my family. I knew there had to be a better way, but more importantly, I knew other people were going through the same challenges and I felt as though I could make a difference. I found the process of buying and selling to be overwhelming at first; but I took my time, I figured it out, and now I am able to share my experience and I am able to help other people who are doing the same thing. I have 30 years in the military and I am currently a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Reserves, serving as a Battalion Commander for an awesome training unit! I have over 15 years corporate experience as a certified Project Manager Professional (PMP) where I led and managed aerospace and defense programs supporting the Department of Defense. I have seen every level of business ownership and I have experience which ranges from bootstrap start-ups to multi-million dollar mergers and acquisitions. I have bought and sold my own franchises and helped many others do the same. I understand the process, the sensitivity, and confidentiality which occurs on all sides of the transaction; but most importantly, I leverage my leadership experience, my business experience, and my management skills to ensure the right things get done and we achieve results.
