Why Use a Brokerage Firm?  

 

Simple, yet significant, reasons:

 

 

    We will get a higher price for your company than you ever could because we reach the largest number of potential buyers and know how to negotiate to your advantage;

 

    We manage the entire process from beginning to close, meaning less interference of the running of your company;

 

   We take confidentiality very seriously and ensure your interests are not compromised.

 

Selling a business is not like selling a piece of real estate. It must be handled confidentially and by people who know what they are doing. The goal is to get the best possible price and terms for the seller, without anyone knowing the company is for sale. It is not an uncomplicated process.

 

Buyers must be managed properly, given information only at the appropriate time and only if they are qualified. Competitors pose a unique problem and, in some cases, opportunity. Equity funds must be contacted when appropriate. Most importantly, proper selling documents must be constructed. CO Group provides the following:

 

Confidentiality - it is strictly enforced for your protection; Marketing - we reach the largest possible target market; Quality - we qualify potential buyers so your time is not wasted; Price - we get the highest possible price for your business; Negotiations - we manage the negotiations to optimize the contract price and terms; Closing Management - we work side by side with the attorneys and accountants to help ensure the deal does not get off track.

 

With an experienced firm representing you, you are free to run your business without the interruptions of the selling process and with as much peace of mind as we can provide.

 

"There were low spots when some demands of the buyer's counsel seemed unreasonable and I considered withdrawing the offer...but within 60 days the sale closed successfully." - Ms. Dee Brandt, former owner, BEI Executive Business Services, Inc.
