Selling Your Business

NORTHWEST BUSINESS BROKERAGE FIRM

Owning a company and selling one are separate priorities requiring different skill sets. Having the right advisor by your side is critical to ensure that your business moves through the transition process efficiently, in a confidential manner, and that the parties come together to arrive at the closing table. The right advisor will add value to the process by providing a qualified acquirer, guiding the parties through the due diligence process effectively, while navigating the complexity of the sale so the transaction actually closes. A qualified advisor will typically sell a company for its expected value, in a shorter time span, and be experienced on navigating sale obstacles that prevent business sale transactions from closing.

We understand that your life’s work is attached to the sale of your company and that a business is a cornerstone asset to an owner’s portfolio. It is important to team with the right business brokerage firm to successfully transition your company. CTA business brokers have the transaction experience, market knowledge, and actual abilities needed to protect and transition what you have worked hard to create. We welcome the opportunity to confidentially discuss your business sale goals and provide guidance on a range of value that the market will support for sale. Valuations are done on a complimentary basis for potential clients. Some of our clients come to market quickly and some of our clients come to market years after an initial inquiry.
