Company Overview
We have over 60 years of combined experience in owning, operating and buying and selling small businesses. We are members of the IBBA (International Business Brokers Association), and we are committed to continuing education to keep our knowledge base and skills up to date.
We only represent Seller clients, not buyers. This eliminates possible confusion or conflicts.
We like to think of ourselves as a "Boutique" firm. With only two Partners, each of us is close to all of our clients. We don't turn our clients over to a stable of sales agents. We personally take our clients through the process from A to Z.
We are part of the largest international network of business brokers. Being a part of the Sunbelt network provides our buyers with access to over 10,000 businesses for sale and enables our sellers to market their business for sale to a worldwide database of potential buyers.
