What serious buyers do first
- Know your number. How much cash you can put in, and how much debt you can support.
- Talk to a lender early. If you plan to use an SBA loan, a pre-qualification makes sellers take you seriously.
- Be specific. Industry, location, price range and the role you want to play in the business.
- Expect an NDA. Sellers' names and financials are released only to screened buyers who sign one.
How we help buyers
Beyond our own listings, we help buyers evaluate a business: whether the earnings hold up, what the lender will look for, how to structure an offer and what to check in due diligence. If you are using SBA financing, read what SBA-financed deals involve.
Do I need to sign an NDA to see a listing?
You can see the blind summary without one. To learn the name of the business and see financials, you sign an NDA and share some background on your experience and funds.
Can I buy a business in another state?
Yes. We work with buyers and sellers across the country.
