The Roadmap
Every sale follows the same proven path. Here are the eight steps we’ll move through together.
It starts with a confidential, no obligation conversation. We learn about your business, your goals and your timeline, and you learn exactly how we work and what to expect.
You complete our Business Valuation Intake (BVI), and our team analyzes your financials to determine what your business is truly worth in today’s market.
Our team builds professional marketing materials and takes your business to market through our buyer network and national listing platforms, all without revealing its identity.
We screen every inquiry so only serious, financially capable buyers ever learn the details of your business. Every buyer signs an NDA first.
We help structure and present written offers, then work through price, financing, training and transition until both sides reach an agreement that works.
The buyer verifies financials, operations and contracts while earnest money is held in a neutral escrow account. We keep requests organized and deadlines on track.
We manage the approvals that let the business change hands: your lease assignment, license transfers such as liquor permits, and the buyer’s new legal entity.
Final documents are signed, funds transfer through escrow and you are paid. A short transition hands off operations, vendors, staff and customers.
Typical timeline: 3 to 9 months from listing to close. Approximately 30% of our listings close within the first 3 months!
