The Buying Process

1.       Disclosure.  You sign an agreement promising to maintain confidentiality for all the information provided to you on the businesses we discuss.

2.       Background Information.  You provide us with information about yourself, such as a resume and financial statement. The more we know about you, the more likely we can find a business you will like.

3.       Review.  You provide us with information about yourself, such as a resume and financial statement. The more we know about you, the more likely we can find a business you will like.

4.       Meeting.  A meeting between you, the seller and us may take place. This gives you the chance to ask questions you may have about how the business operates and to describe your qualifications to the seller.

5.       Offer to Purchase.  You write, with our assistance, an offer or letter of intent for the business you like. Earnest money may be required to demonstrate the seriousness to the seller. Most offers are contingent upon your inspection of the books and records of the business. The offer is not binding until you remove all contingencies.

6.       Due Diligence.  You meet with the seller to examine the financial records. Any questions you have are resolved at this time.

7.       Closing Documents.  We provide all documents to the transferring agent or attorneys so they can prepare the closing documents.

8.       Transfer of Ownership.  All parties meet to sign documents.
