Consumer
Dynamic Trends, Disruptive Technology, Constant Evolution
The Consumer industry is a staple of the U.S. economy, but is experiencing change at a rapid pace as innovative technology changes the way people buy and consume products and services and the way companies deliver them, prohibiting complacency and driving robust M&A activity. The combination of competitive pricing, opportunity for rapid growth or risk of precipitous customer fall-off, and the continuing evolution of highly specialized products and services, all combine to demand strategic thinking and advanced preparedness to maximize sale potential.
The team at Dunn Rush & Co. has deep transactional experience across numerous consumer-facing industry sectors including branded and private label products, retail, e-commerce, household goods, specialty equipment, sports and leisure and restaurants.
What sets us apart from other advisors is that our partners and managing directors have been in our clients’ shoes—as CEOs of consumer-facing businesses that have gone through transitions and acquisitions of their own. This firsthand experience of managing the sale process as both owners and advisors has proven to be an invaluable asset to our clients.

What Clients Are Saying About Dunn Rush
Dunn’s results in guiding the sale of our family business were outstanding in every dimension, from the sale price, the methodology of the sale process and his thoughtful guidance on what may happen post sale. Working with someone who, as the saying goes, has “seen the movie”, created a real sense of comfort and instilled confidence that our family’s business gem was in trusted hands.
I had never been involved in the sale of a business before, let alone my own. I hired Dunn Rush & Co. to assist me through the process because of their extensive experience in helping similar business owners. Kevin and Greg prepared us well for the task, anticipated events and issues, negotiated hard and delivered superb results. They know what they are doing and do it well!
