How to Find a Great Business to Buy

"Why is it so hard to find a good business?"

"Because the good ones are SOLD BEFORE they make it to the open market!"

Wall Street Service with Main Street Prices?

AN ACQUISITION SEARCH
is the answer.

It's the best way to uncover those "hidden" businesses that never make it to the market.

Many business owners are interested in selling, they just don't want to be on the market.

That is why the majority of businesses available for sale are not listed by Business Advisors and intermediaries.

Locating the right business to purchase can be a frustrating and time-consuming experience. There are too many buyers chasing too few good businesses. The smartest approach is to find one that nobody else knows about - a business that is NOT YET FOR SALE.

Industry research shows that less than five percent of all registered buyers (those that network with intermediaries, accountants, lawyers, bankers, etc.) ever buy a company within a year. That means more than ninety-five percent fail.

Most buyers spend a good deal of time looking. Most are ambitious and smart. Most feel they are conducting a thorough search to locate good opportunities. Yet, less than five percent succeed.

That is a dismal result. Would you want to go to a doctor who lost ninety-five percent of his patients? Would you drive a car that only worked five percent of the time? We think not. So why do buyers fail?

The answer is that most buyers simply fail to go about the acquisition process correctly. Most have never made a single transaction before. Even acquisition officers at larger corporations have seldom done more than a few. It's no wonder that buyers spend more time, energy and effort than is needed. It's no wonder that ninety-five percent end their search frustrated and fatigued.

Why Do Acquisition Search Campaigns Work So Well?

"The Early Bird gets the worm!"

You get there before the company goes on the market.

You get there before the competition does.

You get there before the price and terms are cast.

You get there before the seller gets bad advice from accountants, attorneys, shareholders, family:
Many just are not knowledgeable
Some may have conflict of interest
Some say things just to please the seller
Many do not admit ignorance on the process

You get there before the seller makes errors:
By buying or selling assets
By breaking up of property
By notifying employees
By approaching competitors

A search is a more relaxed process for the seller and buyer. Contact us today at 616.285.8121 for more information on Sunbelt's Acquisition Search Campaign.
