Frequently Asked Questions

What types of businesses do you specialize in selling?


We specialize in facilitating the sale of small to mid-sized businesses across various industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, technology, and professional services. Our focus is on businesses with annual revenues ranging from $500,000 to $50 million.
 

How do you determine the value of my business?


Our valuation process combines multiple methodologies, including income-based (discounted cash flow), market-based (comparable transactions), and asset-based approaches. We analyze your financial statements, assess market conditions, and consider industry trends to arrive at a fair market value.
​

What is the typical timeline for selling a business?


The timeline can vary based on factors such as industry, business size, and market conditions. On average, the process takes between 6 to 12 months from initial consultation to closing.
​

How do you maintain confidentiality during the sale process?


We prioritize confidentiality by requiring all prospective buyers to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) before receiving any sensitive information. Additionally, we use blind profiles and confidential marketing strategies to protect your business identity.
​

What marketing strategies do you employ to attract buyers?


We utilize a combination of targeted outreach, industry-specific advertising, and our extensive network of qualified buyers. Our marketing materials include professionally crafted Confidential Information Memorandums (CIMs) and teaser profiles to generate interest while maintaining confidentiality.
 

What fees are associated with your services?


For our brokerage services, we operate on a success-based commission model. This means we only earn a commission upon the successful sale of your business. The commission percentage is determined based on the specifics of the transaction and will be clearly outlined in our engagement agreement.​

We charge a flat fee of $2,000 for a comprehensive business valuation, which includes a detailed report and a consultation to discuss the findings. This fee is competitive, as business valuations typically range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the complexity and size of the business.

 

Do I need to prepare my business before selling?


Yes, preparing your business for sale is crucial. This includes organizing financial records, addressing any operational inefficiencies, and ensuring legal compliance. We offer guidance on enhancing your business's attractiveness to potential buyers.
​

Can you assist with buyer financing options?


Absolutely. We work closely with buyers to explore various financing options, including SBA loans, seller financing, and third-party lenders, to facilitate a smooth transaction.
​

What happens after the sale is completed?


Post-sale, we assist with the transition process, ensuring a seamless handover to the new owner. This includes transferring licenses, training the new owner, and addressing any post-closing obligations outlined in the sale agreement.
​
