We are Different!
We are with you from start to finish - from purchase or startup, through growth and financing and eventually valuation and sale.
We invented the concept of Business Buyer Advocacy. We know that the skills necessary to buy a company are quite different from those which successful managers use to manage a company. We developed and perfected the 22-Step Acquisition SequenceTM, which helps avoid pitfalls and keeps business buyers on track. We have completed 1000s of successful deals throughout the world.
We also know how to evaluate, value and improve businesses. Years of experience allow us to implement positive change in companies not fulfilling their potential. We facilitate strategic thinking and planning which leads to strategic decision making. Strategic decision making accelerates a business’ success, transforming a company from what it is to what it can be.
When you need to know what a business is worth, our business valuations are affordable, understandable and credible. Many times they have influenced negotiating parties so win-win deals could be closed.
When its time to sell, our service enables you to control the process of preparing yourself and your business for sale. We can show you how to determine a fair price, define your plan to market your company and attract multiple buyers.
Our clients benefit from years of real-world experience, our unique bundle of integrated services and a nationwide network of affiliates. Combine that with superior service and over 500 man years of experience and you see why no one else can provide you with the services and value that we can.
Buying a Business
You can't buy a business until you find a business worth owning. Our proprietary search system allows our clients to see dozens of companies that meet their criteria and avoid competition from other buyers. Our proven due diligence system allows us to quickly and confidentially analyze a company without disrupting its operations.
“Partner” On-Call
As a “Partner” On-Call, we help business owners improve the performance and value of their business. Many business owners are so busy running their business that they are unaware it is under-performing. Owners are often too close to their business, with only a limited perspective of its problems, opportunities and potential. Our evaluation and diagnostic processes reveal the true nature of the business, and it’s potential. They can avert disaster. Owners can think clearly about their business, identify solutions to the problems and improve performance and value. We don't just solve problems, we tap potential.
Business Valuation
Business owners may use our valuations for insights on how to help improve their current business, improve their profitability and increase their value. Business buyers may use our valuations as a reason to expand their due diligence, or to improve their understanding of the business and its potential. Our unbiased valuations have influenced struggling negotiations and produced a win-win deal for all parties involved.
Preparing a Business for Sale
Our service enables the owner to appropriately prepare himself and his business for the sale. Equally important, the owner is in the “driver’s seat” controlling the entire process in a structured way. From preparation to valuation, marketing and sales, we show business owners how to get a fair price for their business.
You will Benefit from Our Services
Our comprehensive and integrated “Partner” On-Call systems provide significant value. With our help, you can safely and economically locate, purchase, improve, value or sell a business. Our systems and processes have been proven for over 30 years, and are not available anywhere else. In addition to our proprietary systems, you benefit from professionals with years of training, street-smart knowledge and experience, and the backing of a nationwide network of affiliates.John Halstvedt
