Selling your business for the best price and terms is our business. The key elements of our listing service are confidentiality, valuation, marketing, qualifying buyers, negotiating the deal, and buyer financing.

When a house is for sale, the owner wants everyone to know about it. When a business is offered for sale, the owner should be very concerned about total confidentiality as it pertains to their customers, employees, competitors, suppliers, etc. Confidentiality is our number one priority.

We provide each listing business with a professional, no charge market valuation analysis that represents our opinion as to the current fair market value of your business. This valuation is based on the analysis of the business` financial history and, where appropriate, includes comparison to national databases of businesses that have previously sold.

We market our business listings using generic descriptive names and just enough information to interest a buyer, but not enough to identify the business or its location. We market your business to the highest number of potential buyers through traditional local marketing methods, plus national and international exposure through our website and the three largest internet business listing websites currently on-line. This approach gives your company maximum exposure to a large pool of qualified buyers. This exposure to qualified buyers is what sells a company in the shortest period of time, for the best price, while maintaining confidentiality.

We maintain an ongoing relationship with a large group of qualified buyers. Before we discuss any of our listings we interview the prospective buyer to determine their background, experience, investment objectives and financial capabilities. Only after we are satisfied that they are a qualified buyer and only after they sign a confidentiality agreement do we disclose any information to them about our listings.

At the point a potential buyer decides to purchase your business, we write up an "offer to purchase" based on the price and terms that make sense to the buyer. However, rest assured that we represent you and your interest in that process. When the offer is submitted to you, we will be there to advise you on the merits of the offer and help you make a counter offer if one is required.

Once a contract to purchase has been signed by both parties, our work is not finished. Almost every purchase requires some form of financing. We assist the buyer in obtaining appropriate financing. We prepare and present information packages to lenders and assist the lender in understanding the deal. Over the years we have assisted many of our buyers in obtaining financing and have established strong working relationships with many area lenders.
