Have you considered being your own boss, creating your own financial independence and making your own dreams a reality? You're not alone, owning your own business is the "American dream". But the reality is that buying a business is a serious financial and personal commitment that requires an understanding of what makes a business successful. All too often, new owners jump blindly into a business venture, overwhelmed by the tremendous workload of starting a business from the ground up. A government survey shows that over 90% of new businesses fail within the first five years. An existing, established business that is purchased by a new owner shows a much higher sucess rate.

If you have considered the thought of owning your own business, buying an existing business has many advantages over building a business from scratch:

You can review actual operating results, rather than projected results
You get immediate cash flow from the ongoing business activities
You will have trained employees in place
You will have established suppliers
You will have established customers and referral business
You will have existing licenses and permits
The seller will train you in operating the business
In most cases, the seller will provide the financing you need to buy the business

Confidentiality
Unlike the sale of real estate or franchises, the sale of an on-going business is very confidential for both the seller and the prospective buyer. All inquiries are held in strict confidence. Meetings and information shared or observed are to be held in strict confidence. To ensure confidentiality for all parties, Sunbelt brokers require a confidentiality agreement to be signed.

Confidentiality Agreement
In return for granting you, the prospective buyer, access to investigate the operations of the seller's business and otherwise private information, the prospective buyer promises to use the information for the sole purpose of evaluating the benefits and risks of purchasing the seller's business in strict confidence.(click here to view agreement)

Financing
Brokers can skillfully negotiate financing and formulate a financial plan that works for you. Due to a banks reluctance to finance small businesses, over 90% of business purchases are financed by the current owners, demonstrating their confidence in the continued success of their business. Financing a business purchase through an owner vs. through a bank brings a lower interest rate, lower payment plan, simple credit checks, using the business as collateral for the loan and greater owner commitment to your success. Sunbelt brokers know how to make financing terms work in your favor, quickly and
easily.
