WORK WITH US. In 1995, serial entrepreneur Brad Offerdahl sold his 3rd business and realized there was a need for a professional firm to help the main street business owner that doesn’t have $50,000,000 in sales and a board of directors running the company. Brad realized that he could transform his real-world knowledge into a business opportunity. So in 1996, Brad Offerdahl and his son Jay Offerdahl started Viking Mergers & Acquisitions. For over 28 years, Viking has focused on providing comprehensive business acquisition and business brokerage services with an emphasis on communication, confidentiality and closing sales.
