Sunbelt Business Brokers
Serving Multnomah County, OR
Sunbelt Business Brokers of Portland and Vancouver was founded in 1998 when the founder saw a need for serving business owners who wanted to divest themselves of their businesses because of a myriad of reasons: retirement, health concerns, divorce, relocation, and other personal interests. We saw the value of affiliation with a National network of Sunbelt Business Broker offices when a seller wants to sell a business, providing much greater exposure to sell a business. With the growth of the internet business buyers come from all over the world to look for businesses for sale. Sunbelt Business Brokers has a proven track record and a system for selling a business, and in fact the founder wrote the book “Selling Your Business for Dummies”. The Sunbelt Franchise has grown to over 140 offices in the United States and many worldwide. At any given time, there are approximately 4,000 listings in the Sunbelt System. The company believes in professionalism and continuing education to keep up with critical trends in the market place. The office owners are encouraged to be part of the professional association International Business Brokers Association and M&A Source, the leading associations in the industry.
