Buying a business

Across California, we help buyers to identify the right acquisition targets

There are many private business owners who are willing to sell their businesses under the right circumstances. We work closely with our clients to help them navigate the complexities of growing through acquisitions.

Avoid Costly Mistakes

M&A transactions can be lucrative, but risky at the same time. Our team will help you to source, prepare for and complete a successful acquisition. We will provide you strategic advice, help you to avoid costly mistakes, and guide you through the process.

We work with corporations, private equity firms and individuals.

Buy a Business With Two Service Offerings

  1. Subscribe to our buyer alerts to be notified when a new business is listed for sale.  There is no obligation or cost.
  2. Buy-side representation. As your business broker, we will help you through each stage of a business acquisition, from developing an acquisition strategy and identifying potential acquisition targets to closing. This type of engagement is fee-based.

We will guide you through the acquisition process:

  • Develop an acquisition strategy and identifying potential acquisition targets that fit your strategic goals and objectives
  • Discuss financing options: SBA business loan or traditional financing 
  • Draft LOI
  • Negotiations
  • Perform due diligence on selected acquisition targets
  • Finalize closing 

Confidentiality

In contrast to the sale of real estate and franchises, the sale of an existing business is extremely confidential for both the seller and buyer. We keep all inquiries strictly confidential. 

The signing of nondisclosure agreements is a part of our process to protect the seller and the buyer. 

In return, the seller will grant you access to the confidential business information for the sole purpose of determining whether the business is a good fit for you while maintaining strict confidentiality.
