Whether you are (a) buying a business as a first time buyer; (b) looking for another business to purchase; or (c) a strategic buyer (d) a synergistic buyer or (e) a corporate buyer looking for a very specific business, we can help you.
A combination of our published, exclusive business listings; our exclusive, unpublished listed businesses, and our proprietary method of locating specific business opportunities means that Century Business Advisors can find your ideal business.
When we locate a business opportunity that appeals to you as a prospective buyer, we will work with you so that you understand the business and its financial statements. We will also assist you in furthering your understanding about the industry in which the business operates. We will walk you through the business valuation process so that you understand how the listing price was determined. All contact and communication will be done with total transparency while protecting the confidentiality of the target.
When you are ready, we will introduce you to the owner/seller of the business and take you through the operation. If you would like, we will be glad to introduce you to appropriate professionals such as CPA’s, lawyers, bankers, retirement rollover specialists, who can help determine that the business opportunity is right for you.
As you proceed through the initial stages of buying a business, we will discuss prospective deal structures that might be attractive to you and which will be acceptable to the seller and prospective lenders. Once a letter of intent (LOI) is executed and in place, we will help you as you go through the due diligence process, and we will make sure that all contingencies in the letter of intent (LOI) are satisfied. We will work with you every step of the way from the first phone call all the way to the closing table and beyond as the business transitions under your new ownership.
