Our process

No one knows your business better than you do, and no one knows today’s business buyer better than Corporate Investment. We’ll arrive at a winning selling strategy for your business as we step through the selling process together. Our business brokers are experts in every selling phase, and every detail of your transaction will be handled professionally and confidentially.

Evaluation

Corporate Investment will objectively evaluate your company to determine the value enhancers unique to your business. A thorough evaluation will enable us paint an attractive, realistic picture of your company to our qualified buyers.

Value analysis

We perform a thorough valuation analysis to discover any hidden values created by your years of hard work and personal investment. We will analyze the market, evaluate your industry using national databases, recast the financials and create a professional marketing package for your business.

Marketing program

After our in-depth evaluation, we will determine what type of buyers are best for your business: a strategic buyer, a cash flow buyer, an investment group or an industry buyer. We’ll tailor a marketing strategy for your business which will include a marketing package, listing on multiple websites and media advertising.

Buyer Qualification

Corporate Investment screens all potential buyers before introducing your business. Prospects sign a confidentiality agreement and demonstrate financial capability before your business name is revealed to them.

Introducing your Business

Presenting your business to the buyer, in a positive, but objective light can make the difference between success and lost opportunity. We present the marketing materials that portray your business in the best light possible.

Negotiations, due diligence and closing

Corporate Investment will inform you of the advantages and pitfalls of available deal structures. We draw on our years of experience to guide the business owner through the negotiations, due diligence and closing process. At the final step, you’ll get focused transaction management to ensure the buyer’s review of operations is complete, the closing prompt, and all open issues resolved. We bring the highest degree of professionalism to the closing process, and we follow up after closing to determine that all parties are satisfied.
