Business Sales: Our Core Business
For More Information:
All business will one day transfer or close. That fact is inevitable as time itself. Therefore, the sale or divestiture of the business is one of the most important decisions an owner will ever undertake. It is a responsibility that VR takes seriously when accepting the role as a trusted advisor.
Every step in a business sale demands an extremely specialized effort, and at VR we know that there are no shortcuts to a successful transaction. The transition of an entrepreneur who is selling their business means exploring new options in life and change. Owners of businesses view this decision to sell as an opportunity to reap the rewards of years of sacrifice, dedication, and hard work. To unlock the maximum value of the business the entrepreneur needs advice, guidance, transparency, and honesty… they need Valued Representation.
By building our relationships on a foundation of truth, and by setting realistic expectations, VR has transformed into an organization whose first focus is to help and assist its clients. This cultural philosophy allows us to understand the reasons behind the transaction which can differ dramatically from client to client, and ultimately decide how the sale is structured.
Making quick, objective decisions comes naturally to the business owner. So why is the decision to sell the company so difficult? Because it’s made by weighing the advantages of moving on against the time and energy that’s been devoted to growing the operation. This decision to sell a business usually goes far beyond the economics. It involves defining lifestyle, and redirecting personal energies, resources, and values into the next stage in life.
The VR organization prides itself on recognizing the importance of being a trusted adviser and advocate to our clients. VR intermediaries guide business owners and soon-to-be entrepreneurs through the transition of buying or selling a business.
