The Street-Smart Way to Buy a Business ®
Are You A Frustrated Business Buyer?
Are you the average business buyer? You are if you are frustrated trying to buy a business. More than 90% of people who want to buy a small or midsize company are discouraged. They are sick and tired of the puffery, the overpriced businesses, the losers masquerading as wannabe winners “with potential.” Most of these people give up trying to buy a business, despite the fact that business ownership is one of the safest and most profitable ways to earn income and build net worth. They quit because they are not willing to settle for a mediocre deal. Worse, too many buyers purchase the wrong company or they buy the right company the wrong way. Yet, there is an abundance of mature, fairly priced companies for sale by-owner on the hidden market. We can show you how to find and buy them.
We're not a business brokerage, but we collaborate with some of the best brokers if the client wants a referral to a broker.
It’s the balancing of safety and opportunity that differentiates the winners from the losers.
During these uncertain times there is one economic certainty: Some of the best small and midsize businesses are quietly for sale by-owner. And deals are being done. Business buyers won’t find these companies advertised for sale. The Authorized Business Buyer Advocates at “Partner” On-Call Network connect the BEST buyers to the BEST sellers. 2,746 (and growing) of the top law firms, accounting firms, sources of financing and other players on the dealmaking field do business with us because of our 35 year nationwide experience achieving done deals for our clients. We can take you from the sidelines into the game with our winning team.
Why work with an Authorized Business Buyer Advocate?
The business broker’s primary allegiance is to business sellers. An Authorized Business Buyer Advocate levels the playing field. Our proprietary Street-Smart 22-Step Acquisition Sequence ™ integrates five services essential to buyers: search, due diligence, financing, valuation and dealmaking. How many of those services would be useful to you?
You face two problems if you want to buy a business. Only 20% of the best businesses for sale are advertised by sellers or sold by brokers. Buyer competition on the “public market” means businesses sell for more than they’re worth.
Detect the differences: Anyone can declare their experience in the business buy/sell industry to be sufficient to deliver excellent service, free of conflict of interest, to business buyers. But experience as a business broker or any other type of advisor or service provider may not be enough to adequately guide a business buyer through the entire Street-Smart 22-Step Acquisition Sequence ™. Without advanced training and systems that cover the entire Street-Smart 22-Step Acquisition Sequence, it may be best for some business brokers and other service providers to serve clients within their specialty.
Brokers and intermediaries serve business sellers.
We’re not a business brokerage. We don't try to sell a business to you. We show you how to find and buy the right business the right way.
As your Business Buyer Advocate we introduce you to companies for sale on the “hidden market." This is where up to 80% of businesses - especially the best ones – are for sale by-owner. Most of these owners do not advertise their business for sale, nor do they admit they are for sale to buyers they don’t know. You will save time because the sellers we introduce you to will match your acquisition criteria. Because these businesses are not available to the general public, you avoid buyer competition.
Our due diligence system means you thoroughly investigate the business before buying it.
Our creative financing techniques enable you to make a smaller down payment yet the seller gets more cash upfront.
Our analysis of the marketplace will provide you with the inside scoop about the selling prices of businesses and the most important financial ratios. You use these facts to be more credible to sellers and sources of financing..
Our dealmaking techniques and guidance can enable you to buy the right business the right way. Isn’t that what you want to do?
What about franchises?
You can avoid the junk and get a better deal if you use our Franchise Selection & Evaluation System™.

The most secure investment you could make for your retirement is the business you own.
Sure, it is risky to buy or start a business. But it's also risky to be an employee, especially if you're not paid enough to save enough or your pension or medical benefit plan is not secure. You can be fired. Right?
Please call us now if it is time for you to make a career change or buy a profitable business to fund your income, and then later your retirement.
