Buy a Business
Buying an established business can be a faster path to ownership than starting from scratch. We help buyers find the right company and close the right deal.

The right acquisition matches your skills, capital, and goals. We help you define clear criteria, then bring you listed and confidential opportunities that fit, so you spend your time on businesses worth pursuing.
How We Help Business Buyers
- Acquisition criteria: industry, size, location, and your role in the business
- Deal sourcing: listed, confidential, and off-market businesses for sale
- Financial review: verifying earnings, add-backs, and working capital needs
- Financing guidance: preparing for SBA 7(a), conventional, and seller-financed structures
- Offer & negotiation: letters of intent, price, structure, and transition terms
- Due diligence & closing: coordinating with your attorney, CPA, and lender
Growing Through Acquisition?
Established owners buy competitors and complementary businesses to add customers, capabilities, and territory. We help strategic buyers identify targets and approach owners discreetly.
Business Buyer Questions
How much money do I need to buy a business?
It depends on the business and the financing. SBA-financed acquisitions commonly require a smaller equity injection than conventional loans, and seller financing can reduce the cash needed at closing. We help you understand what size business you can realistically acquire.
What should I look for when buying a business?
Consistent, verifiable earnings; a diversified customer base; a business that can operate without the current owner; a solid lease or real estate position; and a clear reason for sale. Due diligence should confirm each of these.
Can you help me find businesses that aren’t publicly listed?
Yes. Many owners prefer to sell quietly. Qualified buyers with clear criteria are the first people we contact when those opportunities arise.
