It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English…

Business brokerage fees depend on the size and complexity of the transaction and the terms of your representation agreement.
During our initial consultation, I’ll explain the commission structure, services included, and any applicable fees so you know what to expect before moving forward.
My goal is to make the business selling process transparent and straightforward.
Your business value depends on several factors, including annual revenue, profitability, Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE), EBITDA, industry trends, business assets, customer relationships, and growth potential.
Two businesses generating the same revenue can have significantly different market values.
I evaluate your financial performance, business operations, owner involvement, and relevant market data to help determine a realistic asking price and selling strategy.
Selling a business typically takes several months or longer, depending on the industry, asking price, profitability, financial documentation, and buyer demand.
A well-prepared business with accurate financial records and a reasonable asking price may attract qualified buyers more quickly.
I help sellers prepare their businesses, market them strategically, screen potential buyers, and coordinate negotiations and due diligence to support an efficient transaction.
Yes. A confidential business sale can be structured to limit public disclosure of your company’s identity.
I use confidential listings, buyer screening, nondisclosure agreements (NDAs), and controlled access to sensitive financial and operational information.
Although absolute confidentiality cannot be guaranteed, protecting your employees, customer relationships, and business reputation is a priority throughout the selling process.
Buyers typically request financial and operational documents to evaluate an acquisition.
Commonly requested documents include:
– Three years of business tax returns
– Profit and loss statements
– Balance sheets
– Current year-to-date financial statements
– Business lease agreements
– Equipment and inventory lists
– Employee and payroll information
– Business licenses and permits
– Outstanding loans and liabilities
I help business owners identify and organize the documentation needed to prepare for buyer inquiries and due diligence.
Yes! Even if your business is losing money or not generating positive cash flow, it may still have value.
In these situations, we can explore an *asset sale*, where buyers purchase selected business assets rather than valuing the company primarily on its earnings.
These assets may include equipment, furniture, fixtures, inventory, intellectual property, brand recognition, and transferable customer relationships.
For example, an unprofitable restaurant, medical spa, salon, laundromat, or retail business may attract buyers interested in its equipment, location, or existing business infrastructure.
I help business owners evaluate whether a traditional business sale or an asset-focused sale offers a more realistic exit strategy.
Yes. As a Business Broker and New Jersey licensed Real Estate Salesperson, I can help owners explore transactions involving both their operating business and commercial property.
If you own the building where your business operates, we can evaluate selling the business and real estate together or structuring them as separate transactions.
If your business operates in leased premises, I can also coordinate lease assignment discussions, landlord approvals, or new lease arrangements.
New Jersey real estate brokerage services are conducted through the appropriately licensed supervising brokerage, and New York real estate transactions are coordinated with appropriately licensed professionals when required.
Finding the right buyer involves more than listing a business for sale online.
My marketing approach combines major business-for-sale marketplaces, professional marketing packages, targeted digital marketing, business buyer networks, and direct outreach to potential investors and entrepreneurs.
With more than 15 years of marketing and business development experience, I understand how to position businesses professionally and communicate their strengths to relevant buyers.
I also focus on buyer screening and appropriate confidentiality procedures before disclosing sensitive business information.
The right time to sell depends on your goals, financial performance, industry conditions, and personal circumstances.
Some owners sell because of retirement, burnout, relocation, or new opportunities. Others may benefit from improving profitability, organizing financial records, or reducing owner dependency before entering the market.
Even if you’re not ready to sell immediately, early exit planning can help you prepare for a future transaction.
I help business owners evaluate their options and develop selling strategies aligned with their goals.
Selling a business involves valuation, confidential marketing, buyer qualification, negotiations, financing, due diligence, and transaction coordination.
Working with an experienced business broker can help you manage these responsibilities while continuing to operate your company.
As a Business Broker and Business Advisor with Hedgestone Business Advisors, I combine business transaction support with more than 15 years of experience in entrepreneurship, marketing, and business development.
My approach focuses on strategic business positioning, targeted buyer outreach, confidentiality, and personalized guidance throughout the selling process.
Stop chasing sold listings. One call, and I’ll start the search for you.
