PragmaGroup LLC works with entrepreneurs, business owners and leaders who are taking their businesses to the next level.  We work with companies that stand for something, mean something and have something to accomplish.  We work with leaders to define their mission, vision and values, and then develop the strategy to move the company forward, set and achieve goals, identify the key metrics and then move the needle.  We help build the tools, systems and processes to carry the business forward to the next stage, and prepare the next generation of leaders to carry on the tradition.  When it comes time to harvest the fruits of your life’s work, we find the right strategic, financial or operational buyer best positioned to take the company forward.  We work to align your personal and brand values with the company to maximize the market value of the company.  Most people get only one chance to sell their businesses.  We help them do it right.
