We start with a valuation of your business to determine the top price a buyer might pay in today's market.  The Probable Selling Price (PSP) document will give you a complete analysis of what your business is worth and what you should expect to receive from its sale. This document is more comprehensive and accurate than most others on the market. There is a fee for our market valuation and preparation of the materials. It covers all major aspects of your business and is duplicated in the buyer summary for prospective qualified buyers to view after they have signed a confidentiality agreement. Even if you decide not to proceed, we are confident you will call us when you are ready in the future.

When you decide to hire us you will sign an exclusive listing agreement that gives us the right to represent you in the sale of your business. All information provided to us is held in the strictest confidence, and only communicated to qualified buyers who have signed confidentiality agreements, along with their lenders and professional advisors.

Business Finders develops, with your approval, an Executive Summary package for presenting your business to qualified buyers. This package contains a detailed description of your business including, financial information, business specifics (location, assets, lease information, etc.), and pictures if appropriate.

After you have approved the Executive Summary package, your business will be professionally and confidentially marketed to potential buyers. Your business listing will be posted on this website along with other major business opportunity websites, without divulging your specific name or location.

Executive Summary packages are only shown to pre-qualified buyers who have executed non-disclosure agreements.  In our system a buyer will fill out an electronic non-disclosure agreement (NDA) along with a number of pre-qualifying questions. After a follow up call and additional qualification questions, we then control what documentation they can see as we release the information on our terms. We also control the length of time that they can view information. Confidential documentation is ever emailed to a buyer.

We screen all buyers and brokerage inquiries using our efficient streamlined system, which can shorten the time it takes for a potential buyer to receive information by 80% compared to the time other brokerages take. We further screen buyers through additional criteria, including the amount of liquid cash available and their net worth.

Once registered, we call qualified buyers to confirm buyer information regarding:

1. Relevant Experience

2. Liquid Capital

3. Source of Liquid Capital

4. Credit Standing

5. Motivation
