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
