If you would like to sell your business…   Call orEEMAIL  now for a confidential Pricing Analysis - no cost, no obligation! 

• We will schedule a no obligation confidential meeting at the time and location of your convenience, where we can begin to learn about your business, including its financial performance.
    

• After we review the information you provide us, including your financial information, we will come up with an asking price range that we know is appropriate for your business. At this time, we will discuss the advantages of having a formal business valuation performed.
    

• If you choose us to represent you, we will prepare a Listing Contract for your signature and we will immediately prepare your business to go to market.
     

• During this pre-market stage, you will be asked to provide us with more detailed information regarding your business, including advertising materials, client lists, and product info, as well as financial information not already provided, such as profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and tax returns (latest 3 years if possible).

How we sell your business…

• We will first prepare a written Business Sale Prospectus for your business that summarizes its most important features, such as history, operations, and recast financial information.
    
• We will search our proprietary database of buyers for a match with your selling criteria.
    
• We will market your business in a generic fashion, in order to ensure maximum confidentiality.  Generic ads will be placed in all of the most effective outlets for selling a business, including internet and print media. We may also utilize a direct mail or telemarketing program if we deem it necessary.
    
• Every buyer that responds to our ads must first sign a Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement and be approved by you before they receive any specific information about your business, including its name and the Business Sale Prospectus.  This way, you know who is viewing the information about your business and you will have the ability to prevent employees, customers, competitors, or suppliers (or others you may object to) from knowing that your business is for sale.
    
• We will handle all of the legwork involved with the sale of your business, from qualifying buyers, to negotiating the price, terms, and structure of the deal.  Our goal is to get our clients the best price in the shortest period of time.
