ABI, also known as Allen Business Investments, is one of the oldest and most reputable business brokerages on the West Coast, originally founded in Southern California, and moved to San Ramon in Northern California in 1984. Since 1984, the company has handled the sale and acquisition of hundreds of companies across a multitude of industries and among businesses of varying size.
The company has maintained an industry leadership position, playing a seminal role in the formation of business brokerage as an industry in the 1970's, and consistently contributing to the ever-increasing professionalism of the industry. Most of our staff hold professional certifications, many advanced degrees, and many have owned and started companies, a claim many of our competitors cannot make.
