Joan Loch
About the Company
Resource Business Brokerage was formed by Joan to fill a gap in the regional area of Wilmington to provide personalized service, education and consults to the small to medium business community. Buying or Selling can be a daunting undertaking that we know first hand about and in turn built our services around navigating the process for all parties involved.
For business buyers we can help with lease negotiations, lending option and area information if relocation is in the picture.
For business sellers we can help with property that is being sold along with the business, creating comps and market reports along with the business valuation needed to price the sale.
We are professional and have "resources" and knowledge to get any project to the closing table.

Our Process and Services
Consultations
We prefer to work with informed clients and to get that opportunity we offer the time to meet and discuss your needs and how we can assist. Upon giving us the exclusive opportunity to list your business the detailed valuation of the business is complimentary. Requested independent valuations for business planning, estate planning or partner buyouts will be charged separately.
Business Valuations
Selling a business starts with knowing the value and is subject to a number of factors. A complete analysis of three to five years of financial performance, research into industry trends, and understanding how to attribute a number towards goodwill each play a role in valuing your business to reach a listing price. We have the experience to complete the valuation process.
Buyer Representation
Understanding the process for making an informed decision on which business meets your targeted purchase whether for acquiring competitors or striking out on your own for the first time is paramount. A qualified broker can advise on lease negotiations, offered price, and value attributed to the business for sale and fully represent your interests. We have the experience to analyze the value on your behalf.

Controlling deliverables and meeting timelines is just one of our strengths.
