Technology Company

I would certainly recommend VR and would use them again if I had the need. They kept their promises, worked hard and sold my business to a buyer from across the country. Choosing VR was one of the best decisions I ever made with my business.

Sign Code

Mohan and Troy at VR were great to work with. The entire process was great. They really know their business.

eSupplyStore

Troy - thank you for all your hard work with eSupplyStore. I know we found the right buyer at the right price. I don't see how the process could have gone any smoother.

Learning Center

VR did an excellent job of selling my franchise. This is actually the second time that I have used their services and I have been impressed both times.

Health Gazette

I owned the Health Gazette for over 30 years and it was important for me to find the right buyer. VR gave us a fair market value for the business and sold it for exactly that amount. I could not have been more pleased.

VR really took the time to understand my needs. I think their expertise was a big reason the transaction happened.

Publishing Company

VR stood out from the competition. They were the best fit when it came to selling my business.

Retail Bookstore

I was extremely impressed with VR. They approached the sale of my business with a very professional system. I knew my business wasn't large, but I still got a high level of service. I would certainly recommend VR to anyone thinking about selling their business.

Diamond Design

I hired VR to sell me construction company. They worked hard through the whole process and found the right buyer. They did a great job and I would use them again.

Sylvan

I wanted to send a note and thank you for all your hard work. This has been a great experience and I really enjoyed working with VR.

Pure Air Systems

I tried other brokers in town and they just put some ad in the newspapaer and it didn't result in much.

Carrell Welding

VR did a very good job for us. They set the price for my business, found the buyer, and worked through all the details.

Commercial Business Systems

I first used another brokerage company to try and sell my business, but it did not work. VR was totally different, very professional and they sold my business for almost full asking price.

TheEasyForms.com

VR exceeded my expectations in selling my online business. I got the full asking price of the business. We got several offers within the first couple of weeks. The entire process took less than 6 weeks from start to finish.

5 Things All Sellers Should Know

You've invested countless time,
money, and energy building your business. It most likely is your
largest asset and big part of your retirement. Now you have decided
that the time is right to sell. Here are 5 things you really should
know before you start the process.

Selling your business will not happen overnight.

We
know that when you make the decision to sell your business, you want it
done quickly. The process at VR Business Brokers brings a
properly prepared business to market faster than any other firm we
know. However, it still takes time to locate, qualify, and persuade
the right buyer. We have sold a business in as little as 3 weeks from
start to finish. You should plan on at least 4 months and maybe as
many as 8-10 months for the entire process.

Potential is just that.

Buyers
look for growth potential in almost every business. However, unless
you convey a clear path (and it's seen as obtainable) to that growth,
then buyers won't put any value on it. Business buyers (and especially
their bankers) are conservative. They rely on solid historical
performance to value a business.

You are going to get frustrated.

A
good professional business broker will make the process of selling your
business go as smoothly as possible. However, it is a long, complex
process that has its share of frustrating times. You might not have
any buyer activity for weeks at a time and wonder if your business is
ever going to sell. If you realize at the start of the process that
there are going to be bumps along the way, you will be better equipped
to handle them.

Your competitors are not good buyers.

Sure, competitors are logical buyer candidates and quite easy to
identify. So you contact the owner of XYZ and ask, “Are you
interested?” Now he has a free chance to gather information that will
help him compete against you. And even if you don’t send him your
confidential information, he’ll use the fact that you want to sell
against you … starting today. Oh, he competes in a different territory?
These buyers won’t pay as much because the skill, expertise, processes
and methods of your company are less valuable to those already doing
what you do. The better (and lower risk) buyers are individuals,
financial buyers or companies in related or adjacent industries.

Hire a professional.

Yes,we
might be a little biased here. Every broker at VR has owned and sold
their own business and has many years experience working as a broker. There are just too many things to go wrong and you
could lose the entire value of your company if the deal is mishandled.
