About the Company

VR Business Brokers was founded in 1979 by Tom West, one of the co-founders of the International Business Brokers Association, and opened it's first office in the Triangle market in the 1980's by Mr. Dick Deigle. Today, VR Business Brokers of the Triangle is owned by Cole Ferguson, and proudly serves the same small business owners it served decades ago.

With a focus on small businesses with revenues from $750,000-$20,000,000, we take a consultative approach to the process of selling a small business. All conversations are confidential, and all discussions start with a review of the opportunity and the financials, to discover what the Most Probable Sales Price (MPSP) will be. With this data, VR advises the owner what price point to go to market at.

Through a proven system perfected over four decades, VR Business Brokers assists Triangle business owners sell their privately held businesses for the best price, with the least inconvenience, in the shortest amount of time so they can move on to the next stage of their entrepreneurial journey.

Broker Biography

Introduction

My passion is helping entrepreneurs reach their next projects. I know from experience that sometimes, after you start a business, you want or need to do something else. It's my objective to unlock the value in a business and facilitate the transfer of a business in the most expeditious manner, at the highest price, with the least amount of inconvenience for the business owner. Only with that trust can we most effectively execute transactions with other entrepreneurs.
