Working with
Business sellers
To obtain maximum value for your business requires careful
planning. We work with you to take all necessary steps before
you sell your business. Before, we take your business to the
market for sale; we make the effort to understand your business’s
financial information, your tax situation, your reasons to
sell and your strengths & weaknesses. We would also study
your market position, industry trends, and your competition.
This helps us in understanding and marketing your business
to the most suitable buyers for your business. During the
sale process, you are expected to focus on your business to
show good consistent results. The selling process is kept
confidential. We will evaluate all buyers interested in your
business to ensure they have adequate financial capabilities.

Working With
Business Buyers
It is common knowledge that at any given time in the market
place, there are more business buyers than business sellers.
One such study suggests that out of 100 business buyers only
5 become successful in purchasing a business. We have taken
these findings to heart and we have done further studies on
our own to find what causes this failure and waste of the
enormous resources. Our findings have led us to believe that
all parties involved in a business transaction have to take
some of the blame for this failure. At times, it is the sellers
who are asking a very high price and put-up some unreasonable
conditions. Sometimes it is the buyers, who are not serious,
they are just looking for a bargain that may never happen.
More than often it is the consultants like lawyers, accountants
and bankers who also break the deal. Keep in mind not all
of them are truly entrepreneurs; they just have bought their
jobs. As business intermediaries, we are constantly looking
for ways to improve business buying success rate.
How we apply this to find our clients
the right businesses quickly;
-
Spend some time
with the business buyers to know them well.
-
Find out, what motivates
them to buy a business.
-
Are they strategic
or financial buyers?
-
Find their financial
resources and the size of the investment.
-
Find their targeted
industries and preferred businesses.
-
Find the targeted
business size and geographic area sought.
-
Expected rate of
return on investment.
-
Unionized or non
unionized.
-
Find more about
their past experiences, successes and failures.
-
Are they ready to
pay market price for a well running business?
-
Are they experienced
and looking for turn around situations.
