Ohio Business Brokers

Selling or Buying a Business,
We Streamline the Process.

Every journey begins with a first step;
Every business begins with a first sale.

SELLERS

Every journey begins with a first step;
every business begins with a first sale.

The business grows, it stumbles, it faces challenges and at some point the founder needs to face the time of parting from what he or she has created. What you have done on a day-to-day basis has become second nature to you. You know every step of the process, every option available.

But you only sell the business once, it is not something you have done before, and you need to make it count.

By engaging an experienced business broker, you open the door to buyers you would not otherwise see, and options you did not know existed. By having an agent working on your behalf you have a buffer between you and the Buyer, someone to counsel, guide negotiations or simply to have a second opinion.

Selling your business is unique – it was made in your image and has much of you in it – and the Buyer you need must meet your needs for the transaction to succeed.

Valuing a business is more art than science. Crudely put, a business can be valued either by its asset values, what the break-up values of each component are, or by the revenue that those assets can generate.

THE BUYERS

If you have been considering buying a business but have been put off by the challenges of directly negotiating with a Seller, or have experienced disappointing results with another Business Broker, we invite you to call us and see how we can be a part of the process.

We can:

• • Perform a search to find the specific type of business you want to buy
  • Assist in the negotiation of a sale by insulating you from the Seller
  • Assist in the finding of financing to make the sale possible
  • Consulting for business improvement, and preparation for sale*
  • Tax advisory*
  • Valuation*
  • Merger & Acquisition Services*
  • Advisory services for a “closely held” sale (to family or key employees)
    * Performed by third parties through trusted business partners

What We Do:

• • We match Buyers and Sellers.
  • We help find financing when that is needful
  • We provide the guidance and reality to keep the transaction moving forward when one side seems to get stuck
  • It begins and ends with honesty and care for all parties to a deal.
  • Our initial consultations are always free. We have turned down assignments if the Buyer or Seller come to the table with unrealistic expectations.

We don’t want to waste your time, or ours.

You will get from us an honest assessment of the situation,
and a candid response to your questions.
