The Business Process

Commitment
Your commitment to purchase a business at price and terms consistent with the marketplace that is consistent with your needs and abilities.

Disclosure
You sign an agreement promising to maintain confidentiality for all the information provided to you on the businesses we discuss.

Background Information
You provide The Sterling Business Brokerage Group with information about yourself, such as a resume and financial statement. The more we know about you the more likely we can find a business you will like. The more information we provide the seller the better the terms he or she will consider.

Review
Together we discuss and review various types of businesses and select some that appeal to you.

Introduction
We introduce you to the businesses you are interested in and discuss the important factors of each.

Confidential Meeting
A meeting between you, the seller and The Sterling Business Brokerage Group may take place. This gives you the chance to ask questions you may have about how the business operates and to describe your qualifications to the seller.

Offer to Purchase
You write, with our assistance, an offer or letter of intent for the business you like. Earnest money may be required to demonstrate the seriousness to the seller. Most offers are contingent upon your inspection of the books and records of the business. The offer is not binding until you remove all contingencies.

Present Offer
We present your offer to the seller.

Background & Experience
We give to the seller your background, financial information, experience and point of view in arriving at the offering price, terms and conditions. Favorable background information about you will result in favorable consideration of your offer.

Explanation
We carefully explain the terms and conditions of the offer to the seller and decision makers.

Acceptance
The seller accepts the offer to purchase as presented or submits a counteroffer.

Mutual Acceptance
When buyer and seller agree to all terms and conditions of the sale, the offer becomes a Purchase and Sale Agreement.

Inspection
You meet with the seller to examine the financial records. Any questions you have are resolved at this time.

Contingency Removal
You remove all contingencies in the Agreement. It is now a binding agreement.

Lease Assignment
We work with the landlord to get an assignment of the current lease or new lease for you.

Escrow/Closing Attorney
We provide all documents to the transferring agent or attorneys so they can prepare the closing documents. They conduct lien searches and also make arrangements to assign any notes or equipment leases.

Inventory
Arrangements are made for you and the seller to count and price the inventory (if required).

Transfer of Ownership/Successful Closing
All parties meet to sign documents. Congratulations!
