There is only one problem with owning your own business, and that is that you can't run it forever. Selling a business is often the largest financial transaction of your life. More money can be gained or lost in the sale of a business than in any previous deal in which business owners have been involved. However, the process is often misunderstood by business owners and their advisors. This seminar will give you a clear understanding of what it takes to sell one of your biggest assets…..your business!

VR Business Brokers has a long-established mergers and acquisitions division within the company. The Denver office specialize in selling companies with expected valuations in the $1,000,000 to $15,000,000 range. With 110 offices worldwide and over 600 brokers, we are the largest business brokerage in the world.

We have an innovative mergers and acquisitions (M&A) advisory firm focused on lower-middle market companies. In the Denver office, we are seller’s agents; we represent the seller in all transactions. The more you make on the sale, the more we make. We are commission-based; so the greater the sales price, the greater the commission. Our interests are tied, and this is the way it should be.

If you're considering the sale of your company in the near future, contact us. We will discuss any issues you might have, and provide an evaluation of your firm's marketability in today's buyer climate. We will maintain strict confidentiality and not discuss your inquiry with anyone unless you specifically authorize us to do so.

Given time, the value of most businesses can be increased through some fairly easy steps. Also by making these adjustments to prepare your company for sale, the process will go quickly and smoothly. It is best to start preparing your company for sale at least 1-2 months before presenting it to buyers.

About VR Business Brokers -

For 30 years now the IBBA has kept statistics and has long known that the average business takes 1 year to list and sell and that only 1 in 5 businesses ends up selling. In fact, on average there is a 30% reduction in final sales price from original list price. In the Denver office, we sell 9 out of 10 businesses, we sell them in an average of 3-4 months, and very often for 100% -120% of the original asking price. Part of the reason for this success is simply that it is easier to close deals in Colorado because many people want to move here and buy an established business. The other reason is unique and propreitary apprach we use to privately and professionally package and market your business for sale amoung a select group of buyers.

Please call our office today at 303-392-1900 to sign up for 1 of our free bi-weekly dinner seminars on how best to position your business for sale so you can leave it is style!

What distinguishes VR from other brokerage companies is that we have a private database of over 100,000 “current” buyers and private equity groups that stand ready to buy businesses. Because of this we can often sell a business by creating a match with buyer candidates without having to “advertise” it which may breach confidentiality. Often, we create a controlled auction among 3-5 buyers which allows to sell your business quickly and quietly, and for a higher price and better terms.

Unlike other mergers and acquisition professionals who charge $10,000 to $50,000 or more before they attempt to sell your business, we typically charge no upfront fees. We earn a commission upon closing the sale.

Every business owner who is serious about understanding how to maximize the value of their business should have periodic assessments performed. We offer a comprehensive approach to understanding how your business is valued, and how to position it for maximum profit when the time comes to sell.

You’ve worked many years to build the business you are thinking of selling. Does it make sense to spend 1 hour to explore how we can help sell your business faster and for a greater sales price than anyone?
