Broker Biography
Services Provided
Unless you plan on running your business
forever now is the time to begin planning your transition, succession or
exit strategy. Whether you are grooming a successor from within
your ranks or plan to market your business to outside buyers,
the sooner you have a strategic transition plan in place the more
valuable your business can become. Filament assists you with
that plan and ensures that your transition is as smooth and
successful as possible. Filament prefers to begin working with a
client at least two, preferably five or more years before a planned
transaction. This ensures plenty of time to get everything in order
so that buyer due-diligence flows as smoothly as possible.
When the time comes to market your business, Filament assists
in the preparation of a marketing booklet that puts your best face
forward and is easily digestible, even for potential buyers who
are not fully familiar with your industry. Filament then takes the
lead in the relationship between seller and buyer, and even assists
the buyer in obtaining financing and getting settled into their new
acquisition.

If you’re paying rent all day, it makes sense to offer lunch to office workers and shoppers, dinner to diners, a bar for the thirsty, eat-ertainment and live music to experience-seekers and private dining to groups. This decades-old destination has it all, along with a cooperative landlord, over 6000 square feet, an efficient kitchen, plenty of basement storage and a Less

View Details Niche sustainable Pet Store seeks adoption near Charlottesville
“Happiness is a warm puppy,” Peanuts creator Charles Schultz famously said, and money can buy (and sell) a puppy - at about $1,000 in gross profit per pup it turns out. Filament Business Advisors is excited to bring this successful pet store to the market. While the puppy market nationally is consistent, but flat, as many buyers switch from big purebreads to rescues, one area outperforms the market significantly. The demand for smaller companion breeds and designer doodles is growing at a CAGR of 8.7%. Buyers are willing to pay top dollar to reputable, ethical breeders who provide certified health clearances, pushing low-tier "backyard breeders" out of the market. An aging population downsizing to smaller homes, and an increasingly urbanized population are pushing this growth. This business meets this demand. This business draws clients from over 3 hours and states away through extensive online advertising for adorable Less

View Details Rare Direct to Consumer (DTC) Legacy Wine Importer in a growing niche
Filament Business Advisors is seeking a person on a mission in the world of wine. This is a small, woman-owned, California-based, remotely operated wine importer/wholesaler and retailer that allows the owner to import wine from around the world and sell direct-to-consumer, bypassing distributors and their markups. This is made possible by a rare but transferable alcoholic beverage license combination (9-17-20).The current owner and founder currently only sells online through a fully functional e-commerce website and a 3rd party fulfillment warehouse to consumers in other states. They could also import and sell directly to retailers in California, including those they might own, as well as to restaurants they do not. Aside from skipping the middleman markups with DTC, in every other state this license would allow the holder to pass wine through local distributors, with limited fixed costs.This company specializes in Less
