We prioritize confidentiality by requiring all potential buyers to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and complete a buyer profile. As the process advances, they must also provide proof of funds before receiving detailed financial information. It’s important to note that confidentiality breaches often occur on the seller’s side, so it’s crucial to manage disclosures carefully with employees, vendors, and others.

We base our broker’s opinion of value on a detailed review of your financials over the last three years, typically focusing on tax returns. We adjust for legitimate expenses to calculate your true cash flow, then apply a multiple based on your industry and the quality of your earnings. Different industries have different multiples, and we tailor our approach to fit your specific situation.

On average, selling a business takes about 8–9 months if it’s in a sellable state. However, the timeline can vary based on factors like market conditions, buyer interest, and the business’s financial health. Some sales may close faster, while others could take longer.

To get a clearer idea of the timeline for your business, reach out for a personalized assessment!

We use multiple strategies to find the right buyer for your business. First, our extensive buyer match database, with nearly 400,000 records, connects us to a broad network of potential buyers. Second, we prepare and distribute targeted, confidential marketing materials, commonly known as “blind ads” and publish them on the top business selling platforms to reach qualified, serious buyers.

Start by organizing your financials, ensuring your books are clean and accurate for the last three years. Streamline business operations, address any legal or operational issues, and reduce owner dependency to make the business more attractive to buyers.

Contact us today to understand more about getting your business ready for a successful sale!

To start the sales process, we begin with a brief meeting to understand your reason for selling and your estimated timeline. This helps us align our approach with your goals. Next, we’ll conduct an assessment of your business’s financial health to determine if it’s ready for sale. If we decide to move forward, the process officially begins with an exclusive listing agreement.

Following this, you’ll need to provide key financial documents, typically including your business’s financial statements and tax returns from the past three years along with additional documents such as disclosures, business operations summaries, a list of assets, lease information, permits, licenses, and any other records pertinent to your business. These documents ensure that we have a clear, comprehensive view of your business to present it accurately to prospective buyers.
