Our Story

Business ownership runs in the family

Andrew Rogerson is the successful owner and operator of businesses in Australia and California.  Andrew bought his first business when he was 27 years old. 

It’s hardly surprising since entrepreneurship is part of his family legacy.  Andrew’s grandfather, F.J. Cameron, was able to provide most of the finance for his youngest son, Ed Cameron, and a friend, George Bloomfield, to establish the Kenworth truck franchise in Melbourne, Australia, in the early 1960s.

The franchise was so successful that Kenworth bought it back from Ed, his older brothers, Les and Don Cameron, and other investors in the early 1970s.

Five time business owner.

Following his family’s footsteps, Andrew bought an International Travel Agency in 1983 and sold it two years later for 250% of its original purchase price.  Andrew went on to buy and manage two retail office equipment/furniture stores in Melbourne, Australia.  Finally, he was the buyer of a Los Angeles-based wholesale travel and tourism company with an annual turnover of over $10 million.

Andrew and his wife Anne later bought an Executive Suites business in Fair Oaks, California.  Anne was able to operate this business while Andrew served as an outsourced Program Manager at the Roseville campus of Hewlett-Packard, managing a team of 42 employees.  Andrew’s responsibilities were deploying a new global call center and support team.  Members ofd the team were web developers, technical writers, and trainers.

As you can see from this lengthy resume, Andrew is comfortable and has hands on skills in different aspects of business ownership.  This includes finding a good business to investment and then grow.  This combination then allows for the business to be sold at a much higher price.

Over time, Andrew works to expand his knowledge and qualifications to facilitate every aspect of the valuing, buying and selling process.

Starting his own business brokerage in 2006

With his business experience and education, he was finally able to open his own firm and advise and guide other entrepreneurs through this complex process.

This business experience and education allow Andrew to advise his clients on and execute a broad range of services.  These services include valuing a business, selling a business, transaction analysis, selling a business with commercial real estate, and machinery and equipment appraisals.

Trust and ethics are an integral part of Andrew Rogerson and the work he chooses to do.  Ensuring his clients’ needs are met and even putting those needs ahead of his interests is one of the core reasons Andrew offers to consult and work with you.
