When you work with VR, you get a long list of benefits that helps your business stand out in a crowd and sell for top dollar.
Selling a business at any price is a tough proposition. Today's marketplace is crowded with competing business opportunities so, standing out in the crowd to attract qualified buyers is the key to making a successful sale.
Our VR office, located in Tempe Arizona, has been helping Seller's businesses get noticed and sell for top dollar since 1993. Our "secret" is hard work. When we represent a client, we do the hard, detailed work required well in advance of taking the company into the marketplace. We firmly believe that you only have one chance to make a good first impression on a Buyer and we don't believe in squandering any opportunity.
Overview of just some of the services we offer on behalf of our Clients:
Develop a Strategic Marketing Plan
The difference between just going through the motions and really winning is the development of a strategic marketing plan to sell your business. At VR we create a specific strategic plan to target the potential Buyer for your business in and out of your industry. We use direct mail marketing creating a data base just for your business, using specific criteria to reach potential Buyers in places that you may not have even thought about. We cover the Internet with well-written, concise ads. We communicate with private equity groups all over the world. We work with VR offices in the United States and in Europe and South America. We communicate every offering to other brokers in Arizona. As a result, we offer an unmatched marketing program that exposes your business offering to Buyers in every corner of the globe. Our goal is a "bidding war" for your business in the effort to get you top dollar for the sale of your business.
Protect Your Confidentiality
At VR we know how important maintaining the confidential nature of your sale is to your business, it's employees and suppliers. That means that you can count on us to make all efforts to preserve the confidential nature of your business sale. Our ads or Internet postings are "blind". The identity of your business is hidden, and only the facts necessary to generate Buyer interest are presented. Buyers must sign a Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement, provide a Financial Statement and interface with a Broker before they can obtain your Business Prospectus.
Create a Professional Business Prospectus
The most important tool in positioning your business to sell for top dollar is a Prospectus on your business. VR Prospectus's are in a league of their own. Our profiles include an executive summary, a description of marketing and operational processes, future opportunities for growth that the buyer might want to consider, facilities information and a comprehensive financial overview. The VR Business Prospectus can also include photographs, equipment lists and all of the information necessary for a Buyer to make an informed decision about moving forward on your business. Both first time buyers and seasoned buyers have complimented us over the years for our well-documented presentations. They typically tell us that our extensive pre-sale work made their job much easier and facilitated the sale. For us, that's just doing the job you expect.
Internet
The Internet is today's tool for selling a business fast. Thousands of Buyers can be reached every day through leading Internet sites. Our company subscribes to and advertises on the sites of all the major players.
Print Advertising
When appropriate, VR advertises in the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times and other regional papers. VR advertising in the Arizona Republic is consistent and directs prospective Buyers to the web site as well as creating exposure for particular businesses. We will also place ads in specialty trade publications for particular businesses requiring a Buyer with a special background. We want to ensure maximum exposure for your offering.
Co-Broke With Other Business Brokers
Many business owners don't realize that Multiple Listing Services (M.L.S.) for businesses do not exist or are in their infancy at best. But while businesses are kept confidential by the lack of an MLS system, all too often they are kept secret from potential Buyers because the listing brokerage or M&A firm is protecting their commission. At VR we work with IBBA, the Valley Board of Business Brokers and other Business Brokers who may have the perfect Buyer for your business. That way we ensure that the opportunity to purchase your business will be available to as many qualified Buyers as possible.
VR provides our Clients with winning representation in the crowded world of business sales. You can depend on us.
