Buy-Side Business Brokerage

The most efficient way to buy a business is to hire a buy-side business broker to guide you through the process. A buy-side broker will not only protect your best interests they will locate and screen potential opportunities.

If you choose NOT to hire a buy-side business broker and navigate the process alone you must prepare:

1. A written assessment of your goals

Define the type of business you want
Detail the role you envision
List your anticipated strengths/weaknesses
Consider your family situation

2. A personal financial statement

List all assets (things owned)
List any liabilities (debts)
List all sources of income that will continue after you buy a business
Note funds available for down payment
Request a loan prequalification letter from your bank

3. A personal resume

4. Your acquisition criteria

List industries of interest
Define location
Determine the annual salary you require
Timeframe

Or, you may take an active approach by hiring a buy-side business broker to locate potential opportunities, gather information and negotiate on your behalf.
