Our unique business brokerage approach consists of the following steps:
1. Consultation
We begin by scheduling a meeting, either in person in Florida or via a convenient online video call. During this meeting, we devote our full attention to understanding your specific case, priorities, and goals. Our experienced advisor will present our business brokerage process and propose a concrete plan with actionable next steps for your buying or selling endeavor.
2. Objective business valuation
We believe that obtaining an unbiased and independent business valuation is paramount to a successful business transaction. Whether you are selling or buying a business in Florida, an accurate assessment of its value is critical. If you are selling, a realistic price will increase your chances of finding interested buyers without undervaluing your business. If you are buying, understanding the true value will prevent you from overpaying.
3. Exit strategy planning for sellers
When selling a business in Florida, accurate exit strategy planning is essential to ensure a smooth and successful transaction. Our expertise will guide you through this process, helping you avoid potential pitfalls and overcome hurdles. We can help you prepare your business for sale, review financial aspects, and improve profitability – ultimately maximizing your chances of securing a favorable sale price.
4. Transaction advisory
The final stage is the transaction process itself. As experienced M&A advisors, we recognize the importance of time in any transaction. Our role is to streamline the process by removing obstacles, facilitating negotiations between buyer and seller, and providing independent due diligence. With our guidance, you can navigate the transaction with confidence, knowing that your interests are protected, and the process is moving smoothly.
Use an M&A advisor or a business broker in Florida?
When it comes to buying or selling a business in Florida, the conventional choice is to hire a business broker. However, choosing a transaction advisor like Nielsen Valuation Group offers numerous advantages that should not be overlooked.
Here is how we are different:
Selling your business:
The process of selling a business through a traditional Florida business broker may seem straightforward, but the reality is often quite different. Typically, you begin by paying an engagement fee that makes your listing available to potential buyers. From there, you wait patiently for a buyer to show interest, relying on the broker to negotiate and hopefully close the deal. Upon a successful sale, you will be hit with a substantial commission (success fee) owed to the agent.
What most people never realize is that the chances of actually selling your business through a broker can be slim. Research shows that up to 80% of businesses listed remain unsold!
By choosing Nielsen Valuation Group as your Florida M&A consultant, you will experience a significantly different and advantageous process. There is no engagement fee. We never charge a sales commission. Instead, you pay for unbiased advice designed to help you sell your business as efficiently as possible, for the right price. We provide expertise and trusted guidance, not empty promises.
Buying a business:
When you rely on a business broker to buy a business, you often receive limited guidance throughout the process. And even when you do get advice, how can you be sure it is unbiased?
Most business brokers are motivated to sell businesses for the highest price possible because it directly affects their own bottom line. As a result, it is critical to hire an independent appraiser to determine the true value of the business, which adds additional costs.
In addition, you are often limited to the listings the broker has on hand, potentially missing out on numerous other opportunities.
But when you work with a transaction advisor like Nielsen Valuation Group, we guide you from start to finish. We help you identify suitable acquisition targets, value the businesses, conduct due diligence, and provide unbiased advice as your sole client for the transaction.
With our help, you are likely to find more suitable companies to acquire while minimizing the risk of overpaying.
