Buying a Business: Our Process

The process by which to purchase a business can be complicated and has some element of risk associated with it.  You want to buy a business that will provide you with a good income and will meet your lifestyle requirements. You want to buy a business that fits who you are as an individual and one that will utilize your unique talents and experience. Your business should be the vehicle that helps you reach your personal goals, dreams and aspirations.

Since we are business coaches, we regularly work with business owners helping them to make more, work less and loving the work that they do. Knowing what it takes to be happy in business is key to making the right buying decision. Below are some of the steps in the buying process:

Business Acquistion Search Engagement

Would you like professional representation on a search for an existing business that is not on the market?
 
B.A.S.E. is our proprietary business acquistion process that increases the chances of buyer success by 70%. We target specific industries on behalf of our clients. We find companies that best fit your needs and contact business owners directly on your behalf. This process often reveals businesses that are available for sale but not “listed on the market.” You will likely be the only buyer in negotiations and we will work to obtain the best price and terms for you. Our services are customized to fit your needs and will save you time and money.
