1. Business Valuation. Have you ever wondered what your business is worth? We can provide a professional estimate of the fair market value of your business, whether you need an informal estimate to satisfy your curiosity or a rigorous appraisal for legal or accounting purposes. We know what businesses like yours are actually selling for and how to price your business right.

2. Business Brokerage. This is a comprehensive service that provides everything necessary to sell your business to a qualified new owner, including, but not limited to:

Expert Advice. If you’re thinking of selling your business, you no doubt have a million questions. There’s probably none we haven’t heard, from "Is now a good time to sell?" to "What do I do next?" Having sold 65,000 businesses, we can provide expert advice founded in deep experience.
Business Valuation. As discussed above.
Structuring. The right asking price is obviously critical, but so are other terms, such as down payment, financing, non-compete agreements, and training.
Advertising & Networking. We will get you exposure you can't possibly get on your own, or from any of our competitors. We use our nationwide network of offices and buyers, all the leading Internet sites, newspapers, an appropriate multiple listing service and other proprietary techniques.
Buyer Screening & Qualification. The right asking price is obviously critical, but so are other terms, such as down payment, financing, non-compete agreements, and training.
Introduction & Follow-up. We introduce your business to qualified potential buyers and work with them until they make an offer to purchase. The decision to buy a business is an emotional and difficult one. We know how to assist buyers to help them overcome their concerns.
Negotiation. When you're emotionally involved in your business, it's hard to be an effective negotiator for its sale. We represent you vigorously to ensure you receive the full market value for your business.
Management Through Closing. Our job is not done until your business is sold. We work with you and your advisors (attorney, accountant, landlord, etc.) and vigorously represent you all the way through closing of escrow.
