Business Valuation
Our adept business brokers have the expertise to conduct a thorough financial analysis, examine market trends and assess assets and liabilities to establish the Most Probable Selling Price (MPSP). This information will facilitate and accelerate the selling process.
Marketing Strategy
At our firm, our experienced business brokers collaborate seamlessly with our accomplished marketing team to create marketing strategies that increase visibility, while maintaining the right level of confidentiality. We collaborate with you to create a compelling business profile and summary. Your business is then promoted using the most effective online and offline channels and is presented to our existing network of investors.
Negotiation and Deal Structure
It may be your first time selling a business, but it’s not ours. We understand that long-term success depends on finding the right buyer, and our services are tailored to make that happen. You can count on our team’s skill in negotiating favorable terms and structuring deals that result in success.
Our Business Selling Process
Our business brokerage firm only presents you with potential buyers who fit the culture of your business, are financially qualified, and are serious about negotiating a deal. Once you approve the potential buyer, a business sale broker from our team will walk you through a step-by-step process. With your accountant and lawyer, you will work together to complete the legal documents required for a smooth transition. By working closely with your buyer’s accountant and lawyer, we facilitate a successful and stress-free business transaction.
Initial Consultation:
During the initial consultation, our brokers focus on thoroughly understanding your reasons for selling, as well as your goals and expectations. We learn about your business’ history and analyze its recent finances, which helps us in establishing a price range for your company. We make sure you understand the process, the cost and the time expected to close the deal, answering any questions you may have along the way.
Business Listing and Promotion:
When listing a business for sale, Investiprise will only provide high level information to interested parties, safeguarding confidentiality. In addition to advertising your business on dozens of websites that feature businesses for sale, your business will be presented to our network of investors. When a buyer is interested in your business, they will receive a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).
Screening and Qualifying Buyers:
Our emphasis on confidentiality means all buyers are required to sign an NDA to ensure your business is protected. Once signed, a potential buyer is interviewed and pre-screened to ensure they have the experience and funds required to purchase the business. Confidentiality is always maintained; only once they are considered a serious buyer will we begin to share information about your business.
Negotiation and Due Diligence:
From the moment you receive an offer from a qualified buyer, Investiprise is by your side during this critical stage of the selling process, making sure negotiations and due diligence go smoothly. We help identify financing sources, structure the deal, remove contingencies, and obtain financial approvals so the final closing is as seamless as possible.

You’ll Be Taken More Seriously
Choosing to use a business brokerage firm demonstrates clear intent to a buyer. It shows that you are serious about selling.
We Maintain Focus
A business broker provides the necessary focus and prevents drift. Our focus is on one thing only: selling your business.
You’ll Have Time to Keep Running Your Business
Delegating the task of selling your business to a business broker allows you and your management team to focus more on the business, ensuring that it remains profitable and appealing to buyers.
You Will Maximize Value
A business brokerage service provides broader reach and will approach many more buyers to solicit interest, leading to a faster sale and a higher sale price.
We Help Expedite the Sale
Most business owners don’t know where or how to start the business selling process, often losing months before they tap into the right buying market. Our experienced business brokers will leverage their established networks and strategic relationships by focusing on registered pre-qualified buyers. This saves precious time and improves the likelihood of success by informing the right people and organizations.
You Minimize Your Risk
Entrepreneurs with a business for sale often make the mistake of “spreading the word”, leading to negative perceptions of the business and decreasing the likelihood of sale. Our business brokers always maintain confidentiality.
Win-Win Negotiation and Deal Structuring
Brokers who sell businesses are experienced in negotiation and will negotiate the best terms possible for you. This will also lead to a competitive bidding process among potential buyers.
