Why Sunbelt?
1) Confidentiality- Trying to sell your business yourself can be a frustrating and exposing experience. The transaction should be handled confidentially so no one, except the right investors, know the business is for sale. A competitor will use information against you. Management and employees will quit, start rumors, or start stealing from you. Creditors and landlords may get nervous. Revenue can drop. Don't allow your business to lose value before it's SOLD!
How can you possibly sell your company without anyone knowing it's for sale? Sunbelt is the largest and most successful brokerage in the world because we use a proven system for marketing businesses confidentially. Let us show you why Entrepreneur Magazine names Sunbelt the #1 Business Brokerage in America.
2) Time- It takes an industry average of 270 days to sell a business; For larger companies, the national average time to close a deal is longer. We have experienced scenarios where we screen over 100 potential buyers before a deal is closed. It is important to take the right amount of time to efficiently sort legitimate investors from want-to-be prospects (i.e. 'tirekickers'), inquisitive competitors, and sometimes even curious employees.
3) Market exposure- Sunbelt has over 10,000 businesses listed for sale globally at any given time. We often receive emails and phone calls from other states, and occasionally from other countries. Many serious buyers and business owners across the U.S. know about Sunbelt Business Brokers. They check our 9 major national websites to see what new businesses we have for sale. We have to be accurate in our marketing - we will spend thousands marketing our businesses before we close the deal!
4) Experience- Sunbelt Business Advisors is the largest and most experienced business brokerage firm on the planet. We have been in business since 1979 and have 360+ offices globally with over 1500 experienced Intermediarys selling businesses every day. We manage over $1 Billion in transactions every year. Most of our Intermediarys have been business owners themselves. All of our Intermediarys go through intensive training on all aspects of selling a business.
5) Negotiations- Determining the right price for your business is crucial. You need to know the prices for similar type businesses in your market. We'll help you arrive at a fair market price that you can feel good about, and we'll defend the credibility of the price when we negotiate with the Buyer's party. We'll keep both parties from clouding a business deal with emotions or personalities, and we'll help steer the negotiations in a clean, patient, professional manner that will keep business issues clearly in focus.
6) No upfront fees- Sunbelt Business Advisors does not charge any upfront fees. We are paid a success fee at closing.
