About the Company

The Green & Co. Difference

-We don't just list a business for sale and hope a buyer comes along. We actively search for buyers for all of our listings.

-We pride ourselves on going above and beyond when communicating with our sellers. One of the biggest complaints that we hear from business owners who have previously listed with another company is that they were listed and never heard from their broker again. We ensure regular and open communication.

-We have an extensive buyer database of buyers who are waiting for the right business to come on the market.

-We do more than just confidentially market our listings on the popular consumer websites and our central MLS, we use the best marketing tools and methods in the industry.

-Confidentiality is king, so we screen and pre-qualify every potential buyer.

It is our goal to make the process of either buying a new business or selling your current business as smooth and efficient as possible. We know how important confidentiality is to our sellers and we treat it with the utmost importance.

Creating a win-win outcome for all parties involved is what we believe makes or breaks a deal. We use our knowledge and experience in the business industry to your advantage. As a result, our clients always come first. We pride ourselves on being responsive, communicative and hard-working.

We have a "whatever it takes" attitude, and that is truly how we approach each and every business transaction that we help with.

Broker Biography

Introduction

Richard is a licensed Florida Business Broker. He has over 30 years of experience in the business arena, both in the U.K. and in the U.S.

Richard started his first business enterprise at the age of just 15. He studied Business and Computer Science at East Hertfordshire College in England. Richard worked in the real estate industry before transitioning to life as a CEO and entrepreneur in the world of Information Technology. At the age of 24, he founded Printext Ltd, specializing in the supply of laser printers to the corporate market in Central London. Over the coming 10 years, he built the business to 60 employees with annual revenues of more than 5 million dollars. He also bought and developed a computer manufacturing business, Olympian Computers Ltd. It was subsequently sold to a major computer manufacturer.

Richard went on to create and develop yet another major venture, Integrated Document Technology (IDT) Ltd, a software company specializing in the Legal and Financial Services Industries. The company grew very quickly, both organically and via numerous acquisitions, into yet another multi-million-dollar organization. It was eventually sold 12 years later to a major NASDAQ listed U.S. Corporation. For the next 4 years, Richard worked as a business consultant for various major companies in the role of Business Development Director.

Richard purchased an American company under the E2 Treaty Investor Visa Program. He moved to Florida in 2014. Richard lives in the greater Tampa Bay area with his dog Charlie.

Richard has a passion for giving back to his community; he served on the Board of Trustees for the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum on Sanibel and he is a former President of the Sanibel-Captiva Rotary Club and current Rotarian.

Richard is responsive, hardworking, knowledgeable, honest and dedicated to his clients. It is his goal to help streamline the process for his clients, whether they are purchasing a new business, growing their business by acquisition, or aiming to sell their current business.

Services Provided

“You need RICHARD! I found him online, and after reading about his background I gave him a call. In one call I realized that he is the person who I want to represent me in my business transaction. I am glad I found Richard who helped me buy my business! I told him many times "I would have not done it without your help!" He really helped me navigate through the whole process and made is easy, understandable and smooth. Buying is not an easy process, not something everyone does every day. So, you need his help and expertise to help you avoid making costly mistakes, negotiating with the sellers and closing on the transaction.” -Sam, Bought a Roofing Company

"Richard Green is a dedicated professional who goes the extra mile to deliver outstanding service to his clients. He is patient, responsive, fun to talk to and produces results! It has been an on-going pleasure to do business with him. I highly recommend his services." -Bonnie, Sold a Medi-Spa

"Richard is a dedicated, honest, trustworthy and dependable Broker, who I met while he was the sellers broker for a company I had interest in. After this deal fell through, (of course not by ANY of Richard ‘s doing), I requested he work for me as my broker. I never realized how important this decision would be, prior to doing so. Richard made this next venture work, and went above and beyond the call of duty to make this new deal happen. Had he not been involved, it is my opinion, (as well as the sellers opinion, per discussions after the sale), that this would have never happened. It was Richard’s hard work and determination (even working after hours at times, and part of his vacation) that made this transaction make it to closing. I would highly recommend using a buyers (or sellers) agent, and by far, this would be Richard Green. Bravo Richard!" -Charles, Bought a Furniture Repair Company

"Sold my business faster than I expected and held my hand the whole way. Great guy and great job." -Todd, Sold a Roofing Company

"I was very happy with Richard’s handling of the sale of my business. He was with me every step of the way. If I had another business, I would not hesitate to use him again." -Gloria, Sold an Autobody and Towing Business
