SELL-SIDE REPRESENTATION – We help owners sell confidentially & professionally & for the highest value. Our proven valuation guarantees it.

BUY-SIDE ASSISTANCE – We join with buyer clients & their team to assist with valuation, negotiation, deal structuring, & consummation. We are here to help business buyers get deals done in an orderly, professional, and cost efficient manner.

BUSINESS VALUATION – This helps determine the price an owner should sell the business for, and what a buyer would be willing to pay. We set ourselves apart from pure appraisers because we factor in the ability of the transaction getting lender financing and other industry trends.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Sound working relations with employees, customers, suppliers, & bankers are important factors to a company. Any premature indication of a possible change in ownership could disrupt these relations & weaken the company’s competitive position. For these reasons, and many others, confidentiality is critically important at all stages. With the proper procedures, it is possible to minimize the risk of an untimely disclosure.

In every transaction, there is an appropriate time to reveal that a sale may be imminent. Proper timing of these sensitive announcements can contribute to a smooth transaction & reinforce the buyer’s willingness to proceed to a closing.

Your CII Business Advisor helps to ensure that information is kept confidential throughout the entire selling process until it is appropriate to reveal that a sale is forthcoming.
