What Business Owners Say About Their Experience Selling To SearchTec

“Selling my company, National Data Access Corporation, was a daunting process to start, but the process and results worked out! I had the utmost respect for my customers, and I was not willing to hand my business off to just anyone. Lance was a pleasure to work with throughout the transaction and transition. My family and business legacy lives on under the banner of SearchTec, and I couldn’t be more proud.”

Sherri Hatcher
Previous Owner, National Data Access Corp

“I knew the sale of my business was ahead, but the time to fully turn my attention to it never seemed right. Lance reached out to me at the perfect time. As soon as we thought rolling my business into SearchTec might make sense, he flew right down to Alabama to meet with me at my home office. Lance worked with me on a smooth-sailing succession process that has been an absolute success. Now, years later, Lance and his team remain in close touch.”

Dede Harbin
Previous Owner, Harbin Research Services

“Lance’s acquisition of SearchTec from me was an emotional and complex transaction. Lance and I worked together above-board throughout the entire process, and the result is the win-win we were both seeking. Today, Lance and I continue to maintain an excellent relationship. I know the company I put decades into is in excellent hands.”

Marc Lovenworth
Previous owner of SearchTec

“I was only open to considering a sale when I saw that SearchTec had a very similar philosophy, background, and expertise. SearchTec's leadership, Lance Lenny and Mechelle Pagan, were both extremely knowledgeable about the industry, but also very down-to-earth and easy to speak with. I quickly saw how Best Lien Search Service would be a great fit for them, and how SearchTec would be an equally great fit my clients and staff.”

Judy Best
Previous Owner of Best Lien Search Service, LLC

"After 29 years of ownership of our Santa Fe, NM company, UCC Search, Inc., we sold our business to SearchTec, Inc. in July 2024. From start to closing the process was very easy and there were no surprises or problems. The owner of SearchTec, Lance Lenny, and his staff, were very easy to work with and sensitive to our concerns for transition. Lance has our highest respect as a business owner and we wish him continued success."

Dorothy & Robert Ptacek
Previous Owners, UCC Search, Inc.
