Deal Process

We make the sales process straightforward and provide strict confidentiality throughout. Our goal is to make the whole process move smoothly, at your pace, with a minimum amount of stress. Ganache Gourmet can move as quickly as you would like to, however, the process typically takes approximately three months.
