Our engagement process is based on the generic brokerage model developed by the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA). We recommend that you review our deal making roadmap early in the engagement. Our aim is to follow this best practice guidance until another path is considered more appropriate. However, each listing is a unique journey making the closing of a deal as much an art as a science. We value regular meetings with you to review and assess the situation. Our tactics can be expected to evolve as the deal progresses. We are committed to navigating with agility.
Initially, we value the profit stream of your business and explore your reasons for selling. The value of your business influences the recommended sales strategy and asking price. Consider that a high performing business, a high flyer, has a historical profit stream that is worth much more than the sales price of similar sized businesses in the market. We prefer to first focus on identifying a strategic buyer willing to pay a premium for your hard work. Later, should you require a faster sale, we can lower the asking price, thus attracting the more price sensitive buyers.
Sometimes public knowledge of a deal happens too soon due to a sloppy sales process. This can result in the loss of key employees and/or the destruction of business value in other ways. Also, some buyers that are identified through an internet listing are not really who they say they are, especially competitors wanting to know more about your business. We do not use the actual business name, location, and brokerage name in public listings or on initial documents provided. Each potential buyer must be approved by you, sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement, and provide proof of identity.
