STEP 1: COMPREHENSIVE BUSINESS ANALYSIS.
As your business broker, we analyze your operation, finances, market potential and trends. We take that information and generate a business profile that represents your company in the most attractive way possible.
STEP 2: WE STRUCTURE THE SALE.
We identify the best possible price range for your business. This is based on solid facts, the condition of the market, projected growth, sales potential and the sale of similar businesses within your industry. We apply sophisticated, time proven valuation techniques to ensure that your price is appropriate for the current market condition. The price must not be too high or too low. Yet, it must represent an attractive investment potential.
STEP 3: WE CONFIDENTIALLY NETWORK THE SALE.
We utilize the latest technology to present your business to other business brokers and strategic buyers all over the world. This greatly multiplies the effort in your favor. You will have literally thousands of industry professionals selling your business, yet your confidentiality is always respected.
STEP 4: WE CONFIDENTIALLY ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS TO BUYERS.
Our aggressive marketing program ensures your confidentiality and provides maximum exposure for your business. Your listing is placed in various industry databases, internet sites, and publications which are constantly updated.
STEP 5: WE CONTROL THE INFORMATION FLOW.
We organize all necessary documentation and release information only as needed. We use limited information when advertising to maintain confidentiality. Then buyers are pre-qualified and required to execute a confidentiality agreement before receiving any sensitive information concerning the sale.
STEP 6: WE CREATE COMPETITION FOR YOUR BUSINESS.
We attract thousands of buyers, creating competition for your business. Buyers are qualified for financial ability to meet the offer. We will then reduce that number to only the most qualified buyers. Once you meet the best of the buyers, we urge them to prepare and present all offers. Many times, a negotiation is doomed to fail because of lack of proper qualifying. As your business broker, we can also approach and continue to track potential buyers without weakening your position.
STEP 7: WE NEGOTIATE FOR YOU TO ACHIEVE THE BEST PRICE.
Appropriate negotiation is crucial to achieving your best price and terms. We have the expertise to establish sound and resourceful negotiating techniques on your behalf.

We take pride in our exceptional service. Only half of the job is finding the right buyer who will pay your price and meet your terms. The other half is getting that buyer to the closing table. We quarterback the deal, work with the accountants, lawyers, banks, landlords, and other third parties that could jeopardize the success of the transaction. We realize that you depend on us to guide you through the sale of your business. We make the transition simple and easy for you. We know when an opportunity for you may arise and are always there to take advantage of it. We also know when someone is trying to kill your deal or is being unreasonable and how to handle those situations.
