About the Company
I own and operate two Business Broker Businesses, Indian River Business Brokers and Asheville Business Brokers.
Florida & North Carolina, my residence is in Sebastain Florida and Mike Burk is manager of Asheville North Carolina.
In 1994 I purchased Brevard Business Brokers in Cocoa Beach, Florida. I later obtained the name Florida Business brokers & opened other Business Brokerages in Florida. Again, I opened Business Broker Offices in Maine and North Carolina and changed the Name to American Investment Brokers. Now, 28 years later, Living in the Asheville Area of North Carolina, I changed the Business Name to Asheville Business Brokers, serving the Western North Carolina Area. I still enjoy helping people sell or buy businesses. Contact me for a confidential conversation. Thanks, Rick Maerkle
