Our Principal and Founder, Richard Zarzecki personally guides you through every step of selling your business, providing:

• Free, confidential business valuation grounded in real, comparable sales data
• Strategic pricing designed to attract qualified buyers — not just any buyer
• Thorough buyer screening to protect your time, confidentiality and deal
• Guidance through due diligence, letters of intent and purchase agreements
• Coordination with all stakeholders to keep the deal moving —  attorneys, accountants, lenders, private equity groups, venture capital firms and family offices 
• Honest conversations throughout — including the difficult ones

Richard is a top-performing M&A advisor and business broker, certified by Business Brokers of Florida® since 2000. A former Business Owner, Accountant and Tax Specialist with a NY, Big Four Accounting firm, he brings a level of financial expertise and hands-on experience that most brokers simply cannot match. 

A professional business valuation takes many factors into account, including:

• Adjusted net income
• Consistency and volume of sales over time
• Fair market value of equipment and inventory
• Length of operation
• Customer retention
• Reputation 
• industry 
• Growth potential
• And more…

Richard will assess all of these elements to provide you with an accurate, professional valuation — at no cost, no obligation.

Acquirers typically spend several months searching for the right business to purchase. Yet, they only have access to a portion of the market. There is a better way.

• Get automatic email alerts when new, matching listings are posted.

Whether you are actively looking or want to be alerted when the right business surfaces, this system works for you around the clock. With access to thousands of active listings our Principal and Founder, Richard Zarzecki, will help you find the right opportunity.
