You have worked hard to grow your business from infancy into what it is today. You have managed to weather the million challenges it takes to own and operate a company year after year after year. You have had many Christmas parties with your employees, perhaps have grown close to many of them, and are now looking at starting the process of letting go. We know it's not easy, but it's time.

Every business we sell starts with a conversation. We need to understand your business thoroughly so that we are able to competently develop a Confidential Business Review. After the Confidential Business Review is developed, reviewed and approved by you, we are ready to go to market.

We advertise our listings on a wide array of business for sale websites including industry association websites. Once a buyer makes an inquiry and sign a confidentiality agreement, the buyer is then provided a copy of the Confidential Business Review and we conduct an interview to determine whether the buyer is a suitable fit based on criteria set by you.

If the criteria is met, the next step is a conversation with you as the seller for you to make your own judgement as to suitability. If you feel it's a good match and the buyer wants to submit an offer, we proceed to the offer and acceptance stage and start working through the details and head towards a closing!

Call us today to understand how we can help you sell your business.
