Services Provided
As a Business Broker, I specialize in helping both business owners looking to sell and buyers searching for the right opportunity navigate the complex process of business transactions. My goal is to ensure a smooth, confidential, and profitable experience for all parties involved.
For business owners, I provide comprehensive business valuations to determine fair market value based on financials, industry trends, and market demand. I also handle confidential marketing, discreetly promoting the business to qualified buyers while protecting sensitive information. Once potential buyers are identified, I screen and vet them carefully, ensuring they are financially capable and serious about the purchase. My expertise in negotiation and deal structuring helps sellers maximize their sale price while minimizing stress. From offer to closing, I guide sellers through the entire process, handling due diligence, contracts, and transition planning.
For buyers, I assist in identifying businesses that align with their goals, skills, and investment level. I work closely with them to analyze financials, evaluate risks, and conduct due diligence to ensure they make informed decisions. If financing is needed, I provide guidance on funding options, including SBA loans, to help buyers secure the right deal. My role doesn’t end at closing—I support buyers through the transition process, ensuring they have the knowledge and resources needed for long-term success.
With a confidential and structured approach, I simplify the process for both sellers and buyers, ensuring successful transactions. Whether you're looking to sell your business for maximum value or purchase the right business for your future, I’m here to provide expertise, guidance, and results.
