Thinking about selling your business?
Call us!

Our firm is dedicated to helping business owners achieve smooth and successful ownership transitions.

When you begin planning your transition, we can provide information needed for good decisions on exit strategy. By performing a business valuation, we can help you understand not only the likely market value of your business, but also which elements truly bring value to the potential business sale. We can also identify operating issues that may negatively impact the salability of your business, so that these issues can be addressed prior to going on the market.

You may be ready to sell to a known buyer, such as a family member or employee. We can support you by providing selected services on an as-needed basis. For example, we can value the business, identify issues that should be addressed in the transition and assist with negotiations to ensure the transition proceeds smoothly.

You may need us to find a buyer, in which case we can provide full brokerage services. Our firm can assist you with every step of the process.

Our services include:

• Business valuation
• Preparation of custom marketing packages
• Strategic local, regional and national marketing
• Buyer screening
  • Confidentiality agreements
  • Financial disclosures
• Negotiation of sale terms
• Coordination of closings

As a member of your team, we coordinate closely with your other advisors, including your accountant, financial planner and attorney. We recognize that transactional issues such as potential tax liabilities should be well understood, so that your business sale is structured to your advantage.

Confidentiality in the transfer of a business is absolutely essential. Your business can be harmed if the pending sale is revealed prematurely to your employees, customers, suppliers and competitors. As your intermediary, we hold the identity of your business and your sensitive operating data in the strictest confidence. We release this information only to qualified prospective buyers who have been bound by confidentiality agreements and have demonstrated the financial strength to complete the purchase. No identifying or sensitive information is released in open advertising.

We understand that you need to spend your time running your business. We will bring to you only serious, qualified buyers – we do not waste your time with “window shoppers”.

Our process is well designed to match your business with a strong buyer and to provide excellent value for your company.
