Our Approach

At our brokerage firm, we don't just represent your business, we partner with you. This approach has led to a 100% success rate in selling the businesses we list. When we list a business, we ensure:

  1. The numbers supported by tax returns and documented add-backs.

  2. The owners are ready, willing, and able to sell their business within our suggested timeframe and recommended sales price range, which is carefully calculated based on sound valuation principles. This ensures a fair and competitive price for your business.

  3. If the business purchase is likely financed with an SBA acquisition loan, we ask our partner banks to pre-qualify the opportunity (i.e., A bank will finance the deal assuming the buyer has the right credit profile).

  4. We do the hard work upfront. We collect much of the documentation that Buyers and their financing partners need before we list the business for sale. Banks love our deals because of the documentation we provide to them to underwrite the acquisition.

  5. We follow our proven process — See our Sales Process below.
