Why use Sunbelt Business Brokers
- A professional business broker can be helpful in many ways. They can provide you with a selection of different and, in many cases, unique businesses, including many that you would not be able to find on your own. Approximately 90 percent of those who buy businesses end up with something completely different from the business that they first inquired about. Business brokers can offer you a wide variety of businesses to look at and consider.
- Business brokers are also an excellent source of information about small business and the business buying process. They are familiar with the market and can advise you about trends, pricing and what is happening locally. Your business broker will handle all of the details of the business sale and will do everything possible to guide you in the right direction, including, if necessary, consulting other professionals who may be able to assist you.
- Your local professional business broker is the best person to talk to about your business needs and requirements.
- Sunbelt business brokers can help those buying or selling a business in any of the four areas of the private business market:
Main Street Businesses
General businesses that usually have gross sales of $1,000,000 or less per year and have 20 or fewer employees (95% of US businesses fall into this category).
Franchise Sales
Sunbelt is pleased to represent a select group of franchisors with a proven track record of success in their field. When you buy a franchise, you are in business for yourself, but not by yourself. These franchisors have proven business systems and known names in their respective markets.
Franchise Resale
Thousands of existing franchise businesses resell every year, often for "human driven" reasons: the owner retires, dies, is in poor health, is getting a divorce, is relocating or experiences other life-changing circumstances. We always want to know why someone is selling a business, and so do you. Depending on the circumstances, the sale of an existing franchise may present a good business opportunity for the buyer. An existing franchise has the advantage of being an existing business plus the ongoing support provided by the franchisor. Those looking to buy a franchise can benefit from the professional assistance provided at Sunbelt.
Middle Market
Sunbelt is a market leader in managing middle market transactions in the range of $3,000,000 - $30,000,000 in annual sales. We are adept at reaching all three types of buyers for this level of transaction; high net worth individuals, strategic buyers and private equity groups to maximize sale price for the seller and work for the buyer to have a successful close.
