Buying a business on your own is no easy task. Industry statistics indicate that both corporate and individual buyers, acting without an intermediary, have a significantly lower chance of successfully closing a transaction. The few who do succeed usually take much longer to close a deal. Why should buying a business be so difficult? Before you begin the arduous task of buying a business, ask yourself:
Do I have the necessary capital? Do I have the skills and management experience?
How do I find my business? There are many ways to look. Scan the newspapers and the Internet, networking with suppliers, sales people or attorneys, or establish a relationship with an acquisition intermediary.
Why use an intermediary? We know what it takes to produce a successful transaction. Success is in the details. Items such as the business write-up, fair market valuation, historical financial statements, and acquisition financing all contribute to a successful outcome. Once we have established your acquisition criteria, you may have a "first movers" advantage allowing you the opportunity to sit down with a seller before anyone else.
Why Corporate Investment? Since 1982, Corporate Investment has successfully completed over 1,000 transactions of closely held companies. It's our job to match the right parties and craft an agreement that works for everyone. We have found that the only transactions that actually close are those that are "win-win". We compile extensive data on the business, including company financials, property & equipment leases, and all other pertinent documents and information you need in order to make an informed decision. Our staff, with backgrounds in law, accounting, business management and finance have experience in all phases of ownership transfer and work as a team to help complete a successful transaction. This is why our ratio of success is significantly higher than that of less experienced intermediaries or brokers.
