About the Company

Advanced Business Brokers, Inc. is in the business of helping small to midsize business owners sell their businesses, and helping entrepreneurs find businesses to buy. Since 1974 we have handled the sale of over 1,000 businesses. For business owners, we analyze their business financials and business operations and then help establish an asking price for the business. We promote the sale of businesses by advertising on several national websites, promoting our own website which has educational information, as well as a summary of the businesses we have for sale. We also get a lot of referrals of buyers and sellers from our referral network of attorneys, accountants, bankers, real estate agents, and past clients. Confidentiality is important in our business, so buyer prospects must come to our office and complete several informational forms, including a Non-Disclosure Agreement prior to obtaining any detailed information about the businesses we have for sale. Following this meeting, once we have determined the qualifications of the buyer and understand his acquisition interest, we then schedule meetings between the sellers and buyers on businesses that meet the buyers’ acquisition criteria. Following that meeting, we expect to get an earnest money contract that spells out the terms and conditions of sale. Following the buyers due diligence process, we then have a closing typically using the services of an escrow attorney and a real estate title company, if real estate is involved.
