We work with businesses that are interested in growth through Franchising their concept.
We work with buyers who appreciate being a Franchise Entrepreneur... those being liberated from the corporate and military worlds, millennials, and certainly those who've owned their own business before.
Business Broker: Who we Represent.
When Sellers contact us, we qualify their business for sale. Sellers provide us with information to create a Business Packet of relevant information for Buyers. Their business gets posted on BizBuySell, BizQuest, Loopnet, and is distributed to 100s of media outlets. We receive leads, request an NDA, follow up, then send the Business Packet. Then we qualify the Buyer. When ready, we introduce Buyer to Seller and move as far into the Closing Process as we can.
When Buyers contact us, we listen to what they're interested in and ask what their skills, experiences and work backgrounds are. Then there are questions to clarify their financial and lifestyle goals. We do our research. Then we get back to them with the information they seek and match them with businesses that match their interests and skills. We then continue to interact, working to make sure that they do find the best fit with a business that will achieve their financial and lifestyle goals. We are their consultant in buying a business.
