Robert Hughes

Hughes Properties Inc.

Serving Riverside County, CA

For more than 20 years Hughes Properties has operated as a full-service, Business Opportunity focused organization in the Palm Springs area. We are much more than a sales force. We are consensus-oriented in that a buyer and seller must reach their optimum deal; one that is fair to both parties. A satisfying Win-Win situation for all. We work diligently with Sellers to determine the top dollar value of their business. The valuation has to reflect numerous key factors while dialing in the personalized variables of how each business is run. Over the years we have learned the truest fair value is calculated by looking closely at the Seller‘s Cash Flow to determine the Profit model for that particular business. From Day One Hughes Properties has blown past borders marketing all business listings on a global scale. We have always recognized the Palm Springs area as having it’s own particular brand of world wide recognition and appeal. As such, we advertise our business listings globally and work hard to provide service around the clock. We take pride in the number of E2 Visas we have had approved for buyers who hail from Canada, France, Switzerland, Portugal, England, Peru, along with so many other countries. Through our experience in getting these E2 Visas approved, we are able to successfully sell someone’s business thereby allowing them to write their next chapter, while a new family gains the opportunity to live the American dream of running their own business. Many times Sellers are ready to move on to an exciting new venture, or perhaps they’re ready to retire, maybe move closer to family. Wherever you are in life, whatever your goals, we’re here to help you sell the business you have built over the years and move on, while for others we stand ready to find you the ideal opportunity to be your own boss and move up.

BTI Group

Serving Santa Clara County, CA

Business Team, a unit of BTI Group, is the Largest Business Brokerage Firm in the Western United States specializing in arranging the purchase and sale of privately owned companies. During our third of a century of existence, we have developed both an unmatched depth of experience (an aggregate of several hundred years!) and a vast network of individual, corporate, and investment group buyers. In addition, our affiliation with the International Business Brokers Association allows us to reach buyers represented by other intermediary firms worldwide. Why Choose the Business Team Brokerage? I am a Managing Director with BTI in the M&A with sixteen years of experience dealing with different industries(please see my Profile attached). At BTI Group we have helped over 7,900 business owners successfully make that transition in our 40 years of business representing buyers and sellers. Some reasons why you might favor us in representing you are: 1. Experience – having sold over 7900 businesses we know how to get the job done and avoid common pitfalls. 2. Marketing Power – with 10 offices and 130 agents, we have a huge following of prospective buyers seeking to own businesses. 3. Confidentiality – our agents are all highly sensitive to confidentiality and our processes are all designed to protect the confidentiality of the sale. 4. Buyer Screening – let our agents do the time-consuming work of screening buyers so that only well-qualified buyers get to tour the business and meet with you. 5. You Run The Business – to keep sales, profits and hence value UP! We take the time to market the business, screen buyers, etc. to keep your time free. If you spend too much time trying to sell and let sales slip, the business value will suffer – we help you keep that value up. 6. Good Advice = since all we do is sell businesses we are your best source of advice on valuation, deal structuring, buyer selection, confidentiality, sale
