We are different.We carefully analyze your business to determine how the market place will receive your company, our opinion of what price range can be expected and what buyer type would likely see the highest value in the opportunity presented. This process provides you, the business owner, with the information you need to determine if this is the right time to sell, and at what price. Armed with this knowledge you can then move forward confidently with the decision to sell, wait, or make improvements to increase the company's value and marketability for sale at a later date. In most cases these services are offered free of charge if you are a selling client and are available at an affordable cost if you are not
Our team approach. Although we are happy to work with your own trusted advisors, VMW Business Brokers has assembled a group of professionals who work together to positively impact your business and its ultimate sale. From attorneys, accountants and bankers, to marketing and financial planning experts, we offer a single source through which all aspects of your business sale can be managed, if you so choose.
Confidentiality. Maintaining confidentiality is an important part of the process of selling a small business. If word gets out at the wrong time to the wrong people, it can have a negative effect on operations and value. Employees, customers, suppliers and bankers can often get nervous and competitors may look to make a kill. VMW Business Brokers will strive to protect the identity of the company and contact only owner approved buyers through a blind profile – a document describing the company without revealing its identity.
Reaching potential buyers. VMW Business Brokers has the tools and resources to reach the largest possible base of buyers. We then screen these potential buyers for revenue that would support the potential acquisition.
Marketing. VMW Business Brokers can help present your company in the best light to maximize the sale price. We have an understanding of the key values that buyers are looking for and can assist in identifying changes that can lead to a better selling price. We create an Individualized Marketing Program custom designed for your business which protects confidentiality and maximizes value.
Valuing your Business. Valuing a Business is far more difficult and complex than valuing a house. Every business is different, with hundreds of variables that have an impact on the value. VMW Business Brokers has access to business transaction databases that can be used as guidelines or reference points when offering a "Brokers Opinion of Value". When a formal Business Valuation/Appraisal is desired, we use the services of the largest third party valuation company in America. They perform thousands of business valuations per year. These extensive and detailed reports not only help with the decision to sell or not at this time, but also justify the offering price to prospective buyers. But one of the best ways for a business owner to truly feel comfortable that he got the best deal is to have several financially viable parties bidding for his business, which is much more likely using the resources of VMW business brokers.
Balance of Experience. Most corporate buyers have acquired multiple businesses while sellers usually have only one sale. Our experience levels the playing field for a business owner making his one and only business sale.
Closing a Deal. Since our sole function is to sell your business, there is a much better chance that a deal will be closed in less time. The faster the sale, the lower the risk of employee problems, customer defection and predatory competition.
Utilizing the services of our experienced, professional team allows you, the owner, to focus on continuing to efficiently run the business, thereby reducing the risk of business erosion during the sale process. A sale facilitated by VMW Business Brokers helps maximize sales proceeds by involving a large universe of buyers in a confidential, competitive bidding process.
