Bateson Business Brokerage offers a range of services for sellers, including:

• A market valuation of the business to determine its value in the current market.
• National and international exposure to potential buyers, while maintaining the confidentiality of the ongoing business.
• Screening of potential buyers to ensure that only qualified individuals will be offered the opportunity to learn more about the business. All potential buyers must sign a standardized non-disclosure statement, and the seller will be informed of all potential buyers before any confidential information is released.
• Screening potential buyers to ensure that they are not simply competitors trying to obtain the business secrets.
• Preparation of a comprehensive Confidential Memorandum, which acts as a second screen for the buyer and limits the amount of time needed to question the seller.
• Consultation on all offers presented to the seller, highlighting the good and bad points and any potential issues that may arise.
• Support throughout the closing process and beyond to help the seller successfully transition their business interests.
