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.com

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.

How to Choose an Indiana Business Broker


  1. Know up front what your expectations are in an Indiana Business Broker who will be selling your business.  Make sure you discuss and convey those expectations to the business broker you select.  Direct and open communications about expectations and other issues with your business broker is critical in selling your business.
  2. Ask the Indiana Business Broker how they are going to advertise and get the word out about the your business for sale.  Make sure they allocate an adequate budget for advertising and marketing to sell your business.
  3. Have the Indiana Business Broker determine the valuation of your business before you sign a listing agreement.  Ask them about a cash price vs. a price with terms involved.  There are many ways to structure a deal - you need a business broker who can be honest with you and discuss these variances with you.
  4. Ask the Indiana Business Broker how they are going to keep the sale of your business confidential and still market it.  Make sure the business broker is using a professional Confidentiality Agreement and has other methods of confidentiality protection.
  5. Make sure the Indiana Business Broker you select has prepared your business for the marketplace.  Are the financials in good order?  Did the broker prepare a professional Business Profile?  Is the broker using any marketing techniques to make your business stand out from the crowd?
  6. Make sure the Indiana Business Broker is comfortable with selling your type and size of business.  This is probably one of the most important business decisions most owners make.  Make sure you do your homework on the broker and the company.
  7. Time kills deals.  Make sure the business broker you select is responsive in getting things accomplished and moving things along.  Deals tend to go south when parties aren't moving forward on a deal at all times.
  8. Make sure you pick an Indiana Business Broker who spends the needed time on your business for sale.  Some brokers take on too many listings knowing that some may not sell - it's a numbers game to them.  You need someone who understands your business, what your expectations are, and who can properly get your business sold!
