Services Provided
Private Business Sales - Selling a privately owned company is very different than selling a home or even a commercial property. There is no effective Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for businesses, so choosing the right business broker in the beginning, is of utmost importance. Selling a business requires confidentiality, deal making experience, and hard work. These are all things we know a lot about, because since 1995, we have sold over 800 of Southern California's best businesses.
Mergers and Acquisitions - Businesses with revenues greater than $ I MM are often acquired by larger privately owned or sometimes publicly traded companies. These larger companies look at potential acquisitions differently than Main Street Business Buyers. M&A deals look for the synergies created by combining two entities into one or perhaps they see the benefit of buying a supplier or even a customer. We can help position your company to get the maximum exposure while still mindful of your need for confidentiality. Using our vast network of affiliated offices and a proprietary list of Private Equity Group buyers, we can significantly enhance your ability to sell for top dollar.
Valuations - Knowing the value of your company before deciding to sell is imperative. Whether that is an informal opinion of value, a review of comparable businesses that have sold, or a more formal written Business Value Report, we can help. If your needs are a bit more complicated, perhaps for a divorce, partnership buyout, an IRS issue, or a fairness opinion, we can help direct you to some of the area's best experts.
