Sunbelt Business Brokers: Why

"Progress always involves risks. You cant steal second base and keep your foot on first."

Frederick Wilcox

SECURITY

An important advantage in buying an ongoing business is that you, as the new owner, have IMMDEDIATE CASH FLOW and an ESTABLISHED CUSTOMER BASE. You don't have to build a business from scratch; you simply take over an existing and active business with the present owner's assistance.

FINANCING

We assist you in finding funds to actually buy the business. Banks are reluctant to finance business purchases for several reasons. First, most small businesses attempt to minimize profits and maximize expenses shown on financial statements to reduce taxes. Also, a bank cannot come in to manage a business as easily as they can liquidate real estate. Therefore, over 80% of business purchases are financed by the seller, which demonstrates their confidence in the business. We also work with many preferred SBA lenders who understand cash flow financing.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Unlike the sale of real estate or new franchises, the sale of an ongoing business is very confidential for both the seller and the prospective buyer. All inquiries are held in strict confidence, protecting both the prospective buyer and the business. This confidentiality will ultimately protect the business you purchase by preserving the customers, suppliers and employees and is important for a smooth transition.
