Our approach to selling businesses is an alternative to the traditional business broker model of high brokerage fees and long-term contracts.

We able to give you this alternative because we have developed the technology and have a methodology that allows us to create and execute a comprehensive marketing program to sell your business at a fraction of the cost of the traditional approach.

In order to properly represent you and effectively market your business, your business broker must understand what makes your business unique and valuable to prospective buyers. If you own a small business, the only way for us, or any broker, to get this understanding is to get the information from you, and perhaps your accountant.

The traditional way of collecting this information is very labor intensive for business brokers. In order to make money, most business brokers (and we used to fall into this camp) are forced to either limit how much information they collect from clients or charge large fees and have a listing agreement that tightly locks in their seller clients.

Our NextStep Interative™ system allows us to obtain the in depth information we need to effectively market your business while charging lower fees and giving our clients more freedom because it streamlines the information gathering part of the process, substantially reducing our up front cost. In addition to increasing the chances of you selling your business for what it is worth, this system allows you to:

• Save you thousands of dollars because our success fees are about 40% less than those of most business brokers.
• Avoid paying us a success fee if you find a buyer yourself.
• Have the freedom to take your business off the market, sell your business yourself, or even sign with another business broker because our engagement agreements are month-to-month instead of long-term.

This easy-to-use system guides you through the process of providing us the information we need to properly represent you and market your business to prospective buyers.

The system is on-line, so you can provide the information from anywhere you have access to the internet, at any time day or night that is convenient to you. If you like, you can even have your accountant input the tax information from their office.

In addition, because you get access to our Sell-Biz-For-U™ system through the internet, you can keep up to date on all of the prospective buyer activity on your business at your convenience.

We save you money and keep you in control not by cutting corners, but rather by investing in the methodologies and technology that take as much time and cost out of the process as possible.
