“Our full team here at b4 is happy, excited, and motivated by the many new growth opportunities enabled almost overnight through our acquisition by Vertus Group,” said Steve Miles, COO at B4Checkin. “Vertus Group’s corporate expertise, standards, and resources enable a strategic focus on long-term growth and stability that will help us grow into a brighter and faster future.”

On the acquisition process itself, Kabir continued by stating, “Working with Zach Plener [Dir. M&A], Brent Winston [Sr. Legal Counsel] and the entire Vertu team was great, they made the entire due diligence and closing process frictionless. More importantly, it left a good taste in the mouths of B4Checkin’s management team, which will make the integration process that much more seamless.
