I have been approached daily on purchase or merger by many companies.
I am not interested in this, knowing full well and being advised that to do so is the best
way to get back the dollars and effort I have ploughed into it.
I simply want to see if there still isn't room in this country of ours for
an independent small company to exist and be successful.
