Broker Biography
As your business broker with Sunbelt Business Brokers, my role is to guide you through every step of the process of selling your business. My focus is not just on securing the best financial outcome, but also on addressing the other important aspects that come with a sale. Here’s how I can help: 1. Maximizing Value My primary goal is to help you sell your business for the highest possible value in the shortest time frame. We leverage Sunbelt's comprehensive resources and extensive experience in both 'Main Street' businesses (those valued under $1 million) and (those valued over $1 million) and the global Middle Market. Through strategic pricing, targeted marketing, and negotiation expertise, I ensure you’re getting the best possible deal. 2. Confidentiality Maintaining confidentiality is a top priority. I understand that a business sale can be sensitive, and it’s crucial that your customers, employees, and competitors are unaware of your plans until the right moment. As your agent, I carefully screen potential buyers and ensure all parties involved understand the importance of confidentiality throughout the process. 3. Business Continuity I recognize that you still need to manage your day-to-day operations while selling your business. I work to minimize disruption, allowing you to focus on running your business without the added stress of managing the sales process. I take care of the details, handling everything from marketing your business to vetting buyers and negotiating terms. 4. Finding the Right Buyer Beyond finding a buyer, I aim to find the right buyer—one who is capable of successfully running and growing the business you've built. I take care to ensure that the buyer shares your vision for the future of the business and that they are financially and operationally qualified. 5. Staff Care You’ve worked hard to build a team, and ensuring your staff is taken care of is likely a concern. I make it a priority to work with you and the buyer to address employee transition plans and ensure that your staff’s well-being is considered as part of the sale. 6. Consultation and Mentorship Many of our brokers, including myself, have been business owners and operators themselves. This experience gives us a unique perspective, allowing us to serve as not only brokers but also as consultants and mentors throughout the selling process. I’m here to provide advice, answer questions, and guide you through every stage of the transaction. 7. Sunbelt's Reach and Expertise With thousands of businesses for sale at any given time, Sunbelt has more listings than all of our competitors combined. This gives us a vast network of potential buyers, increasing your chances of finding the right fit. As part of Sunbelt’s team, I have access to this extensive network, along with a proven track record in closing deals successfully. In short, I am here to make your business sale as smooth, profitable, and seamless as possible. From start to finish, I will work to ensure that all aspects of the sale are handled with professionalism and care, so you can move on to the next chapter with confidence.
