Finding the right business opportunity begins with a full understanding our client’s personal “buying criteria.” As business brokers, we guide the buyer in finding the right business fit by evaluating your buying needs and wants. For instance, we will determine your investment price range by evaluating your budget with you and what you would like to invest into a company. Secondly, it’s important that we determine what your strengths and weaknesses are in order to find the right business. We will take a look at your skills and experience to clarify what industry, location and environment aligns with your talent and the lifestyle that you prefer. For example, what area or type of business are you looking for? Are you looking for a turn-key, self-sufficient business? Or would you like to be hands-on and active from a day-to-day standpoint? Are you looking for a healthy business or distressed scenario?

One of our main responsibilities as a business broker is to help the participants navigate through the different, and oftentimes challenging, stages of a business transaction. Therefore, it’s important when finding a good fit to at the evaluation of the business for sale. Why is the buyer selling? Many times, it’s because the owner is retiring or has a lifestyle change.

We certainly understand the thought process of wanting to own a business because many of our brokers have started their own businesses, therefore we know the difference of starting a business from scratch to buying an existing business. Starting a business can be very challenging with an unforeseeable future.
Meanwhile, buying an existing business gives the buyer benefits from the beginning. First, by working with a business broker the planning process is reduced and details are clarified. The buyer will have existing resources along with the purchase. For instance, existing resources can also include knowledgeable employees, current customers, suppliers, vendors and more. Moreover, the buyer will have immediate control over direction they want for the company. Lastly, immediate cash flow will be easier to ascertain investors or loans.
