The Eight Keys
to Successfully Acquiring Your Own Business |
A good match of business
and buyer is essential. The fact that over 98% of businesses
sold by CBI are still operating two years after the sale
is proof that CBI is good at it. In order to find a suitable
business for you, we need some personal information and
your acquisition criteria.
Our policy is to release information
about businesses available for acquisition only to individuals
who demonstrate the financial and management capabilities
necessary to complete the transaction and  carry
on the business. The first step in the process is for
you to complete a Buyer Preliminary Data Form. Once the
form has been returned to CBI by fax or email you will
regularly receive information on business opportunities
as they become available.
For individuals or corporate buyers who
wish to take a more proactive approach to finding a suitable
acquisition, CBI offers a Buyer Representation Program.
This proven program features a comprehensive process in
which an experienced, knowledgeable member of the CBI
team will:
- Obtain detailed information on your skills, experience,
financial capabilities, interests, objectives and
related criteria
- Based on the above, create an Acquisition Plan
- Research and compile a database of potential acquisition
candidates
- Contact candidates to determine interest
- Prepare a Market Price Analysis and business evaluation
and assist with negotiations leading to a formal Letter
of Intent
- Work with other professional advisers to facilitate
closing
