About Us

Advanced Business Brokerage, LLC is a brokerage firm geared specifically toward customer service. We learned, after many years of experience, that business oriented individuals today are better informed with a greater knowledge base. As a result they may not need as much service or a cookie cutter approach to service. Quite often they may only need some specialized service or assistance in facilitating the actual closing transaction. We are versatile. From a sophisticated for sale by owner listing service, to Brokerage Services included in the sale and purchase of a Main Street Business, to complete transaction services including Mergers and Acquisitions. In addition, we have in house brokerage services to facilitate the sale and purchase of Commercial Property associated with a business interest.

We have taken the time, and put forth the energy to form strategic partnerships with brokerage firms, legal services, and financial services. All geared toward following our promise and mission… We make Your Business Our Business to Sell…

Our Approach

Our Process of Buying or Selling a Business

Our Expert Team at Advanced Business Brokerage is uniquely qualified to assist in the sale of your Business, or to guide you through the Acquisition process. Over the years we have streamlined an approach that’s proven time and time again to achieve exceptional results.

The Process Starts with an Initial Meeting

The initial meeting is designed to get to know one another. For some, initial meetings are sometimes a little intimidating; you’re not sure what to ask, you’re not certain in your decision, but you need additional and critical information. There are many examples of what folks think during the first meeting. Our job is to allow you to see first who we are, hear a little about our background, and feel comfortable asking the questions that are top of mind for you. During this meeting we will be able to determine your goals, objectives, and reasons for selling or buying a business. We will then explain our services, and determine a program best suited to your needs.

Looking to Purchase a Business

For those looking to purchase a business the Initial Meeting will cover topics relevant to the level of financial commitment you are able and willing to make, as well as the level of earnings or income you require. We also talk about the business you would like, in part, based on the experience you have had thus far. One of the keys to business ownership is in finding a business you truly enjoy, as the commitment to business ownership requires a greater commitment of time than does typical employment. So you want to enjoy what it is you’re doing. Interestingly enough, we often find that the business an individual buys is often different than the category of business they think they would like to buy prior to our first meeting. In other words, after an informative discussion, and then after following our process, we are able to help individuals find precisely and exactly what they are looking for and the category they enjoy working on. The is actually a fun and enjoyable experience. Especially when conducted with and by individuals who have had experience in business ownership and management. Everyone on our team at Advanced Business Brokerage brings that experience.

Looking to Sell A Business

On the selling side, most business owners want to know what their business is worth on the market. What can I sell my business for? Well, we have a proven approach to determine what we in the industry call the Most Probable Selling Price or MPSP. We determine that in part by analyzing financial statements. Compare those to the market and category of business, and compare all of that to historical sales in your particular category of business. All of this analysis allows us to come up with what we call a Brokers Opinion of Value or BOV. Finally, we perform an operational analysis with business owners in order to fully understand the business. Much of this is done in the initial meeting, but we will find an appropriate time to visit the business and see the operation. This process and analysis gives us an in depth understanding of the business allowing us in turn to provide buyers with an accurate description of the benefits and advantages of your business.

Taking Your Business to Market – For Sellers

We write a two part comprehensive marketing document that is custom-designed for your business. One part is specific text which populates all of the Internet sites we market your business to. This piece is informative, interesting, and vague all at the same time in order to “get the word out” and maintain confidentiality. With the proper amount of marketing and interest this piece is designed to have interested prospects call us to inquire about the business. Buyers like talking to us at this stage of the process because they know us to be experienced in the transaction process, and we don’t have the level of emotional involvement in the business as does the owner. That initial contact we have with the buyer is critical as the first step in the screening process.

The second part of the marketing document has greater depth and information about the business. It also reveals the location. This document is only shared with individuals that have been screened, have signed a confidentially agreement, and have passed our interview process.

Your business is exposed to the market with a significant penetration in the online market, as that is where the majority of inquiries we receive. We have a sophisticated system and process to handle our online marketing, insuring maximum exposure to potential buyers. In addition we do Direct Mail and Email which are targeted communications to potential buyers. And we are connected to industry specialists whereby we work cooperatively, again to insure maximum exposure. That coupled with the fact that we are continually talking to and meeting with individuals looking to buy a business, allows us to match buyers with sellers. We have a long and proven track record in accomplishing the perfect match.
