Free Evaluation Service for business owners, including providing the owner with a professional opinion of how to price the business for resale. This is based on our extensive data base of businesses we have brokered since 1982, and based on FNBC™  "proprietary"  guidelines. 

This allows us to utilize our exclusive Business Financial Analysis tool that is designed to make sure the current owner prices the business to achieve the goals of both the seller and a reasonable prospective buyer.

 

Free, Financial Records Analysis, including a "stabilization" of the recast business records to determine the business cash flow that might be available to a prospective buyer for acquisition debt service. 

The analysis also helps the owner of the business more clearly appreciate the "recast cash flow" available, which

most owners tend to under-estimate when they prepare such analysis on their own.

This will often times lead the owner, without our analysis, to under-value their business assets, and risk selling the business for less than it is worth.

Or, the owner of the business has concluded, without our business brokers analysis, that the business is worth more than could be justified, and mistakenly plans his/her future around that erroneous valuation.
 
In that case, the owner risks eventually accomplishing his/her divesture goals, and would perhaps be better off having had a confidential, candid evaluation done now by our business brokers, to better plan the eventual sale of the business.

 

Year after year, as our business brokers perform hundreds of no-charge analyses for business owners, over half the owners interviewed are pleasantly surprised to learn that the price a buyer will pay is more than the owner thought they could sell the business for.

 

Business Listing Service, provides the listing documents needed for placing the business assets on the market. The owner engages our licensed offices, usually on a straight commission basis, to market the business, both locally and nationally, through our extensive, multi-dimensional, professional marketing systems.

 

Free, No- Charge Listing Packaging Service, including our licensed office creating a professional package of literature, information and marketing materials, from materials provided by the business owner, which will serve as the "bridge" to our buyer data base.

 

Confidentiality is maintained throughout the marketing activities. All potential buyers are required to sign and/or acknowledge effective, efficient confidentiality promise forms before the buyer is allowed to view the business records or literature. 
 

All buyers are required to deal personally with one of our professional business brokers, thereby re-confirming the promise of confidentiality, before any confidential information is provided the buyer.

The business brokers do not show the business name or address in advertising without the sellers permission in advance. Over the decades of managing this important obligation for thousands of different business owners, our licensees and business brokers have come to be very skilled at making sure that confidentiality is maintained.

 

No Extra Charge Marketing Services include:

• Implementation of multi-dimensional advertising systems, which utilizes:

• Our office creates "BLIND" ads for use in newspapers and on the internet. These ads describe the business acquisition, but are worded so that the reader can not determine the actual business being described.

• Our affiliate offices placing "Business Opportunity" and "Businesses For Sale" ads on hundreds of websites, promoting your business asset sale, using this "BLIND" wording.

• Direct mail and e-mail promotions,

• Telemarketing and other highly effective buyer generating techniques.

• We also immediately initiate a survey of the thousands of present buyer prospects in our existing buyer data base.

• We present your business listing to the business brokers in all affiliated offices, so they will market your business to their buyers.

• The listing is registered with the FNBC™ nationally promoted, award winning web site www.fnbcusa.com, with "blind copy" that describes the listing in un-specific details, to protect the confidentiality, which is accessed by large quantities of potential buyers 24/7 on the internet. To gain access to more information, the buyers must contact FNBC™ Headquarters, acknowledge the promise of confidentiality form, and then work directly with one of our affiliated offices highly trained, professional business brokers.

• The listing is registered with the major "Business Opportunity" and "Businesses For Sale" national web sites and search engines, which generates large numbers of inquiries for our licensed offices. Again, each registration uses only "blind copy" to maintain confidentiality, and the inquirers are required to contact FNBC™ Headquarters, acknowledge the promise of confidentiality form, and then work directly with one of our affiliated offices highly trained, professional FNBC™business brokers.

Financing Assistance Services have been a specialty of our affiliated offices for the 27 years we have been brokering businesses. Our business brokers volunteer to help buyers find cooperating lenders, and produce the lender loan request packet used by the buyer to present the project to lenders.
 
We maintain an extensive data base of lenders who are aggressively interested in making the kinds of loans associated with the businesses we broker. Our business brokers approach these lenders with/and/for the buyers. Since 1982, our business brokers have been instrumental in arranging the financing for the majority of transactions we have brokered.

Our offices charge no fees to the business buyer or seller for these financing services,  but instead perform these valuable services as an accommodation to the parties.

Free, "No Extra Charge" Due Diligence Services are performed by our affiliated offices, and we are proud of the record of efficient, successful completion of so many transactions over the last 28 years.
