About the Company
Cincinnati Business Brokers has had more successful business sales than any other Southwestern Ohio business broker.
We have over 10,000 active buyers in our database that we market our businesses to, in addition to marketing our businesses on more than 10 websites. No other broker markets their businesses more confidentially and more thoroughly than we do. I have personally sold over 125 businesses and would enjoy meeting you, the seller, at my office or at your office, if you have confidential space available. I will take the time to get to know you and explain the entire process to you. I will gather your financials, review them, and give you a valuation - all of this at no charge. You are under no obligation to move forward. If you wish to move forward, there are no charges from us until you get paid at closing. We are highly motivated to sell your business at a price and to buyers that are satisfactory to you.
Broker Biography
Introduction
I am a native Cincinnatian, a graduate of St Xavier High School and the University of Cincinnati College of Business with a degree in Industrial Management. I have had a successful and "hands - on" background in business ownership that gives me great insight into the ups and downs of business ownership. My ability to relate to business owners is a great asset that I possess. I owned and operated 3 Aamco Transmission Centers from 1977 - 1987 and successfully sold them. After a 1 - year business search working with business brokers and business owners, I purchased a printing company called The Copy Place which quickly became Accuprint & Laminating of Cincinnati. I grew the business 5 - fold over 17 years and sold it to a competitor in 2005. Shortly thereafter, I purchased the Cincinnati franchise of VR Business Brokers which is now called Cincinnati Business Brokers. I take great pride in representing business owners in their quest to sell their business in a confidential fashion. I have personally sold over 100 businesses in varying sizes from $500,000 - $10,000,000 in sales. My database of over 7,000 SW Ohio and Kentucky buyers is unmatched. I pride myself in giving 100% effort and great service to not only the seller, but the buyer as well. Selling a business is for many owners a once in a lifetime experience, and I am very well versed in making that happen successfully since becoming a business broker in 2005.
I am one of two Certified Business Intermediaries in Greater Cincinnati. A CBI is an experienced business broker who is committed to the highest level of professional development the industry has to offer and has ethical values aligned with the International Business Brokers Association standards of professionalism. A CBI has the ability to objectively guide clients through the intricacies of the entire marketing and negotiation process of a business sale, resulting in successful transactions and satisfied clients. Along with having undergone a specialized initial program of detailed training, a CBI is required to earn continuing education credits to maintain the credential.
I have received the IBBA Chairman's Circle Award for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. This award recognizes sales excellence in the business brokerage community.
I am very active in the community as a board member of the St Vincent de Paul Society, a Christ Hospital communion distributor, a downtown Cincinnati Rotary member, and as a member of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity.
I live in Mt Lookout and have been married to my wife Lisa since 1979 and have 4 children and 10grandchildren.
