Buy Your Business The vast majority of all business buyers are first time buyers, unprepared to meet the complexities of a business acquisition. However, whether you are considering your first acquisition or are a seasoned investor, you can look to us for assistance in every phase of the transaction. The following, therefore, summarizes the key elements of the business acquisition process as professionally conducted by us. Initial Meeting - In preparation for this initial meeting with us, the business buyer should complete our Buyer Response Form. By completing the form, you will send an email to us with the information provided or you can print the confirmation page and fax it to us. This, along with subsequent discussion relating to your personal goals and objectives, will provide an adequate starting point to begin a detailed search of our large listing inventory in order to develop a selection of "target" businesses for your review. Review of Acquisition Alternatives: This is where our professional edge can really make a difference in a successful acquisition. We will make every effort to provide you with pertinent information on a target company's financial performance, staffing, facilities, equipment, lease, inventory, customers and market areas served. In most cases we will have tax returns, customer lists, etc. for confirmation. Where we cannot provide verification of information given to us, we will advise you accordingly. When the various business names are disclosed, you will be required to sign a standard "Confidentiality/Disclosure" form which, in most cases, is required by the business owner.

An accumulation of sweat, equity and lifetime achievement. The decision to sell your business can be the most important decision of your life.

You face an uncertain economy, unbridled competition, sophisticated buyers and, without professional guidance, you face them alone.
