A business broker acts as an intermediary between a seller and a buyer. A business broker always works to protect the confidentiality of the seller.
Types of Business Sales
SUNBELT can help you buy or sell a business in any of the four areas of the private business market.
Main Street Businesses - General businesses that usually have gross sales of $1,000,000 or less per year and have 20 or fewer employees (95% of US businesses fall into this category).
Franchise Sales - SUNBELT is pleased to represent a select group of franchisors with a proven track record of success in their field. When you buy a franchise, you are in business for yourself, but not by yourself. These franchisors have proven business systems and known names in their respective markets.
Franchise Re-Sales - Thousands of existing franchise businesses resell every year, often for "human driven" reasons. The owner retires, dies, is in poor health, is getting a divorce, is relocating or experiences other life-changing circumstances. We always want to know why someone is selling their business, and so do you. Depending on the circumstances, the sale of an existing franchise may present a good business opportunity for the buyer. An existing franchise has the advantage of being an existing business plus it is a franchise.
Mergers and Acquisitions - SUNBELT M&A (Private Investment Banking) is a major division that has put each SUNBELT office in a market leadership position in supporting M&A transactions in the range of $1,000,000 - $30,000,000.
