ASG Services — We Handle the Entire Transaction

 


When you are selling your business and hire an agent to do the legwork, that is exactly what you expect – for the agent you have established a relationship with to do the work you are paying for. This is not always the case with other firms handling the sale of businesses (i.e. your transaction gets passed around). ASG has many value-added services, so all you have to do is relax knowing the sale of your business is in good hands. Read the following for an overview of what ASG offers:
 
Business Pricing and Valuations: ASG will provide you with a FREE valuation range for your business. (Why is it a “valuation range”? For the simple reason that different buyers have different perceptions of price and different abilities to pay, any intelligent valuation needs to be expressed as a range from low to high.) Later on, should we take you to market, when we start working with potential buyers and begin the marketing process, we never put a price on your company. Why create a ceiling? Instead, we allow the market to determine your business’ value by soliciting multiple offers and negotiating the offering prices to maximize the sale price for you, our client.


To make an appointment with one of our business brokers for a free confidential business valuation and/or discussion, please call (858) 320-0474 or email an ASG principal.
 
Discretion: Discretion and confidentiality are key when marketing your business. With ASG, your customers, employees and vendors should only become aware of the sale of the business the day after the transaction has been successfully completed.
 

Packaging: At ASG we take the time and effort to really understand your business, where it has been and where it is going, in order to create a substantial confidential review of your business to present to potential buyers. ASG makes certain that all the possibilities and attributes of your company are detailed in the Confidential Business Review (approved by you) to pique the interest of potential buyers and to increase response and purchase offers.
 
Locating Buyers: In addition to a marketing program customized to your business, our large database of potential buyers helps us secure the best offers for your company. We seek buyers who include individuals and/or companies (both foreign and domestic) with the financial means to offer the highest price for your business.
 

Negotiations: ASG has been in business for more than 25 years, and our 90% success rate reflects our negotiation skills. Because of this, you will benefit significantly as our negotiation experience can increase the selling price of your business! Doesn’t it make sense to have an experienced professional working on your behalf?

 


Offers: With ASG's marketing efforts and buyer databases, it is likely there will be multiple offers on your business. With no set asking price, multiple offers drive up the selling price, which is exactly what ASG is looking to do for you. Once buyers are interested, it takes skill and experience to get offers accurately reduced to writing in a format that covers a wide range of peripheral details. This means that “hand-shake agreements” don't turn into arguments when forgotten details have to be decided upon.
 
Due Diligence: ASG helps buyers understand the process of due diligence to legally protect the seller before, during and after the transaction. Comprehensive due diligence lists are offered to buyers to provide both parties with a level of security: buyers are thus able to make more informed decisions, and sellers have more legal protection due to providing full disclosure.
 
Lenders and Financing: You want to sell your business, but be sure the buyer can pay you for it and close the transaction. As a result, buyers will typically need financing. We at ASG do not represent buyers, but we do work very hard to secure their financing, enabling our clients to be cashed out. ASG is aware of a variety of lending sources offering financing for the purchase of businesses.
 
Legal Documents and Taxes: While ASG is not licensed to provide legal documentation or advice on taxes or legal issues, we certainly provide guidelines that will help you understand the process and what you need to do to protect yourself. We will work closely with your legal and accounting advisors to ensure the best possible transaction for you.
