Selling a Business | Benefits of Using an Intermediary
Having an experienced intermediary's name on your deal sends the message that you are highly motivated to sell and are committed to consummating a transaction. Our commitment is to present your business to the marketplace in a way that highlights your company's accomplishments, value propositions, and growth opportunities. We develop a marketing plan along with each of our clients. We implement the plan, bring qualified buyers to the table, and assist you all the way through to closing.
- Reasonable expectations. Once a seller knows the approximate range of values, what to expect, and why this number makes sense, the transaction process can then progress.
- Maximize value. Since most business owners spend far more time operating their business than they do buying or selling one, they have far less expertise in establishing value ranges than we do. We create a competitive process that prompts bidders to up the ante.
- Confidentiality assured. We always operate invisibly on behalf of our clients. We have been introduced as bankers, insurance agents, or realtors in order to protect confidentiality.
- Thorough preparation. We know what types of information prospective buyers are looking for--and that they will often ask for more. We gather and package all information with a minimal amount of disruption to your business.
- Hot buttons. Every transaction has issues. Our job is to identify and negotiate win-win situations, as well as to diffuse any potentially damaging issues.
- Deal making. We assist throughout the negotiation process. As intermediaries, we focus on all aspects of the deal in a dispassionate way. Our chief responsibility is to you and to the deal, so we stay focused from start to finish.
- Done deal. We've experienced every complexity imaginable. It almost always happens, and we always resolve unexpected glitches.
- Payday. A win/win has been achieved! A deal that is fair to both sides has been signed, sealed and delivered.
