Many buyers don't want to wait for the right business to appear on the horizon or they are tired of just missing businesses that get sold immediately when listed, they want to be proactive and have us find them the "right business". For those buyers we offer our services in the form of a formal acquisition search. A search where we spend between 2 and 3 hours with the buyer defining exactly what kind of business is the "right business" for them. We normally meet with the buyer and his/her spouse (when applicable) going through a very intensive Acquisition Criteria Worksheet to better define what is the "right business". Many times the buyer themselves are not sure of what kind of business is the "right business". Upon completion of the worksheet and approval of the buyer of what is the right business, we begin our search.
We start the process by writing letters, getting on the phone, and we start knocking on doors. We find that loaded with this information we can zero in on businesses that are an exact match. Many times the businesses are businesses that normally wouldn't be for sale. Why, because when we bring in a qualified buyer who has an interest in buying a business exactly like we defined in our acquisition search, we find the business owners are a lot more open minded about selling their business. Plus, you are the only buyer who is looking at buying that business, no competition from other buyers and no need to rush into an offer until you are ready.
What does this service cost? It can cost as little as nothing, but we do charge you an initial search fee of $2,500, which is reimbursed when you buy a business through us.
