Steps in working with our business brokerage
Valuation & Assessment Package
This first step allows you to gain an unbiased professional opinion of your business value and marketability. Your business valuation assessment will prepare you with everything you need to plan the sale of your business. We will also provide you with a customized action plan and next steps on working with us to confidentiality broker your business.
Business valuation fees vary based on business type and valuation type.

This is a 30 to 60-minute recorded video or phone meeting where we will start to shape the narrative of our marketing and positioning of your business.

We then combined the knowledge we gained in the interview, the valuation from step 1, and our team’s market research to produce a stunning 15 – 30 page Confidential Business Review.

Marketing efforts can be customized, updated, revised, or added to any time. We also offer additional promotion packages when a broader outreach is needed.

In most cases it will be time for Buyer and Seller to meet. This is often a call followed by a site visit.
