Buying a business may be the most important decision you will ever make.

Approximately one-in-five small businesses in America changes hands each year.
That's nearly 2 million established businesses that transfer their ownership – in many
cases to first-time buyers. Studies show, however, that the majority of first-time buyers
are ill-prepared to meet the many challenges and complexities found during the business
purchase process. In addition, more than half of all small and mid-sized businesses
sold without the assistance of professional brokers or intermediaries result in buyer
frustration and discontent. How can you protect yourself from “surprises” that turn what
seemed like an exciting opportunity into a nightmare? Since most people will buy a
business only once in their lifetime, it just makes sense to minimize the risk of losing
hard-earned investment resources – and what may be the one and only chance for
business ownership. Let a professional business broker steer you in the right direction!
When you’ve found what appears to be a good business opportunity, you need to ask
yourself why the business is for sale. A business owner’s true motivation to sell can reveal
a great deal about the business and, more importantly, whether it is the right opportunity
for you. Of course, some reasons for selling are fairly straightforward and easily
understood: retirement, significant health issues, divorce, relocation, and partnership
difficulties are some of the more obvious reasons. But what about reasons that may not
be so apparent – or worse, that a seller does not want to reveal?
This is where Entegra’s professional services can really make a difference. In addition
facilities, equipment and inventory, products or services, and market reach, we make
every effort to find out a business owner’s real motivation for selling. Before we accept
any listing, we need to understand the business operation from every angle. We must
feel confident not only that it can be sold, but also that it will suit the specific needs and
capabilities of serious prospective buyers. As a result, we assist our buyers in arriving
at a realistic analysis of a business operation’s strengths and weaknesses. Only in this
way can they be clear about the abilities and resources needed to successfully take
over and, better still, improve a business operation.
If you feel the time has come to invest your resources in a business, then contact us to learn how you can turn your dream of business ownership into reality.
