Valuing and selling a business or medical practice is a complex undertaking for the owner. Equally, it involves one of their most important assets. Establishing a proper value to attract qualified and motivated buyers is important. What's more important is to have an accurate valuation so, if the buyer needs third-party finance such as an SBA loan, the sale of the business can happen and the seller achieves their ultimate of selling their business. This professional approach includes negotiating leases, assisting with legal agreements while keeping all this totally confidential. If you own a business and it's time to value and sell and it's in California, this is just a small sample of how we can help, as experts in the field of valuing and selling a business in California. We screen all buyers to determine their financial qualifications and business background. Because we work with each potential buyer to find the right business, the prospects we bring you will be genuinely interested in your business as well as financially capable.
