Selling your business is risky and there's a lot at stake. Preparing the business, finding buyers, negotiating price, all while maintaining confidentiality and running the business is stressful and incredibly challenging. We help you to negotiate through the maze, ultimately resulting in a better price but also peace of mind. We utilize proven processes and techniques, used throughout North America for over 30 years. Our experts have deal-structuring experience and we know how your business will look to a buyer. Studies have shown that a good business broker can get significantly more for your business, with less hassle, than you can on your own. We help your business look better to a buyer due to our detailed process:

Preparation

We work with you to help you prepare for the day when you place your business up for sale. When selling a business, how a buyer perceives your business is much more important than what you, as the current owner, think about your business. We know how to promote certain critical features of your business that show it in the best light, and help you to demonstrate your company credibility from a buyer's perspective. We rarely sell a business "as is." We work with you to make operational and financial improvements, re-cast the income statement, and develop a detailed written business description that truly shows all the positive features of your business in the best light possible. We help you to identify your business' weak links and then we recommend only the essential changes in a sequence that has maximum impact.

Screening Buyers

Most people who think they want to buy a business will never actually buy a business. Yet these people will waste your time, and each one you meet increases the risk that word will get out that you are trying to sell. We screen buyers and pre-qualify them before we introduce them to you.

Confidentiality

We have protocols and protections in place to maintain your confidentiality, so your employees and your competitors won't know you're for sale until a deal is done.

Marketing

We work on behalf of purchasers so we know what is important from their perspective as well. Attractive features of your business become cornerstones of the strategy used to market the business. Our strategy helps to identify potential buyers with the most to gain from buying your business and we prepare written sales materials, such as detailed business descriptions, restated financial statements and a solid estimate of value. We also market your business world-wide, including to immigrant buyers, finding the best deal for you.

Integrity

We maintain the highest integrity in everything we do. We represent you professionally, adding credibility to you and your team as you sell.
