As a matter of policy, when Rip-off Report is retained by a company to mount an independent investigation and to publish our findings, we examine the truthfulness of the consumer complaints using every bit of information at our disposal. Our process is systematic and highly effective because: 1) It takes place at the consumer level and 2) the company or individual in our Corporate Advocacy Program must commit to 'doing whatever it takes to make things right with their customers.' By working closely with the company or individual, Rip-off Report can track the footprints left behind when their promised level of customer service is actually followed by the solid ground of real behavior. Only then do we publish our findings.

Rip-off Report cannot ever guarantee any product or service, but we can only report what we find, in order to help you get a better understanding of the company or individual we are investigating. That having been said, the conclusion Rip-off Report came to after our investigation, to the best of our knowledge, is that this company is a reputable firm, offering products and services of real value.

ALL COMPANIES GET COMPLAINTS, BUT HOW THE COMPANY HANDLES THOSE COMPLAINTS, SEPARATES GOOD BUSINESSES FROM BAD BUSINESSES.

By Ed Magedson - Founder, Ripoff Report

Generational Equity approached RipOff Report months ago with the express purpose of resolving complaints posted on Rip-off Report. After a very long investigation, our inquiry into Generational Equity revealed a strong and consistent commitment to communication with its customers and a proven record of resolving customer issues to the customers satisfaction. Generational Equity has worked to bolster its customer services by adding a Senior Vice President of Client Services who will be responsible for delivering improvements to Generational Equitys already superior customer service, meanwhile proactively and promptly resolving client service issues swiftly and fairly as they arise.

Rip-Off Report was specifically engaged with Generational Equity to conduct an investigation of a certain complaint. Our investigation of this complaint has shown that it was filed by a party that is not a customer and has no business relationship with Generational Equity. In our research, we discovered a major print news media article that revealed that some of the reports about Generational Equity on the Rip-Off Report were created by a single person who later admitted that the reports were false and made up to try to cause harm to Generational Equity. We confirmed that the individual claiming to be responsible was indeed the same individual who posted the false claim on Ripoff Report.

Generational Equity CONTINUES TO CLARIFY WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR CLIENTS

Generational Equity provides free educational-based forums to teach business owners how to successfully prepare an exit strategy as well as professional financial evaluations and mergers & acquisitions (M&A) advisory services for larger small businesses and mid-market private companies. Despite the tough economic climate, Generational Equity has closed an industry-leading number of transactions, a testament to the value that customers believe they receive from Generational Equity. Clients believe in their products and services and continue to go back for more. Generational Equitys goal is to provide Wall Street-caliber dealmaking to Main Street in the lower middle market (some even considered small businesses), which is a significant percentage of the overall M&A market.

One of the surprises that came from a review of the negative internet traffic was that Generational Equitys success in the middle market has, in some markets, resulted in increased competition for local business intermediaries, which in turn has sparked resentment of Generational Equity in some of these intermediaries. This led to Generational Equity to implement higher standards and eliminate certain unproductive, unnecessary business practices.

Our research revealed that Generational Equity has been recognized in the industry by numerous awards of note. In 2009, Generational Equity received national recognition for being among the nation's fastest-growing private companies in the M&A services segment of the North American mid-market sector by Inc. Magazine. Generational Equity was also named #195 in its 2009 'Inc. 500' list. This list represents a comprehensive look at some of the most important segments of the U.S. economy. Additionally, in 2008, Generational Equity was named a finalist by The M&A Advisor for Boutique Investment Banking Firm of the Year and for the Deal of the Year in the Information Technology Sector category. Finally, Generational Equity was awarded Sector Deal of the Year by The M&A Advisor in 2008 for recapitalization of their client, Russell Newman. Recognition from such prestigious organizations is a source of pride that inspires the organization to even greater service.

And there are even more awards Generational Equity holds dear. On October 20, 2009, Generational Equity was named finalist by The M&A Advisor for 11 transactions submitted between September 1, 2008 and August 31, 2009, including Investment Banker of the Year, multiple deals in the Lower Middle Market Deal of the Year Category, and deals specified under the Health Care and Life Sciences Sector, Retail Manufacturing Sector, Industrial Manufacturing/ Distribution Sector, and the Professional Services Sector. In 2008, Generational Equity was named number 6 out of the 100 fastest growing privately-held companies in the Dallas metroplex by the Dallas 100. The pride in their success is matched only by their pride in their people.

The success of Generational Equity has also been measured by Thomson Reuters. Based upon rankings posted on July 10, 2009 for the US Target Mid-Market Rankings (MM2a) - Undisclosed Values & Values up to US$50m, the company was a Top 10 most active firm based on the number of completed deals through the six-months ended June 30, 2009. Based on the data compiled by Thomson Reuters Bank-One for calendar year 2008, Generational Equity ranked #1 in number of completed transactions up to $10 million and $25 million.

Most recently, Generational Equity ranked #11 based on the number of deals completed January 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009 for Thomson Reuters Mid-Market M&A Review 3Q09 Rankings (MM2a) - Undisclosed Values & Values up to US$50m published in October 2009. Based on the data compiled by Thomson Reuters Bank-One for calendar year 2009, Generational Equity ranked #1 in number of completed transactions up to $10 million and $25 million.

Generational Equity is committed to the ongoing improvement of customer service and its relationships with prospective, current and past customers as the company grows and expands its offerings to privately-held businesses.

Because of our investigation and the sincere efforts put forth by Generational Equity, Rip-off Report is is confident in giving Generational Equity a positive rating. All in all, the company implemented strategic changes to its Customer Service Department and reached its goal of achieving total customer satisfaction through excellent service. This was made possible by a completely honest approach to looking at their own processes and a commitment to taking good care of their customers.

Generational Equity executives understand that the only way to grow as a company is by first recognizing their weaknesses and then committing the resources necessary to fix the problems those weaknesses created. A Generational Equity executive clearly stated to RipOff Report, "We understand that we havent been perfect. We try as best we can, but its not always possible to deliver perfectly every time. Nonetheless, we are doing everything in our power to make every experience our customers have with us as perfect and seamless as possible.

RESULTS OF MAILING TO ALL THOSE WHO FILED A RIP-OFF REPORT

Rip-off Report did a mailing to the authors of the 3 complaints that were filed, letting them know that Generational Equity was ready to make things right with them.. (this is a requirement for all members of Rip-off Report Corporate Advocacy Program). After repeated attempts to contact the authors, no one responded. Also, Generational Equity has been listed at the top of the search engines on Rip-off Report, .. if this company was so bad, there would be many more complaints listed about them

If Generational Equity was such a bad company, they would have more complaints on Rip-off Report, after being listed at the top of the major search engines on Rip-off Report, this certainly would have yielded them some legitimate complaints. With hundreds of new customers every year, consumers certainly would have filed complaints if they were dissatisfied in some way.

Generational Equity shows leadership by joining the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program.

From our perspective, it is quite unusual for a company who has had so few complaints request on their own to be a part of the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program. Generational Equity provides a leadership model for other companies that care about their clients to follow.
