Consider the Facts:

One out of four American businesses change hands each year.

The vast majority of all business sellers are first-time sellers, unprepared to meet the complexities and time demands of a business sale transaction.

"Do-it-yourself" sellers typically receive considerably less than the fair market value of their businesses.

Over 50% of all small-to-medium sized business sales arranged by sellers without professional help result in transactional problems, dissatisfaction or default.

Today's business buyer demands reliable financial and operational information that can be confirmed.

We are selective and are highly successful. We have policies of representing those clients who have a desire to see the continuing success of their business under the guardianship of a new owner.

Fee Basis and Policies:

For the most part, fees are earned on a success basis. This is to say, if we are successful in selling your business, then you normally will not pay our fees until closing. If not, then you will know in advance what the costs will be.
