Whitmore, Prokes, Micallef & Associates specializes in guiding buyers and sellers through the entire business ownership transfer process and coordinating the team of professionals needed throughout this process.
Business Valuation & Pricing Strategy
What a business will bring depends on the buyer, timing and the owner’s need to sell. In determining Fair Market Value, we’ll review existing conditions and suggest various options to drive the appropriate value from your business. We will also examine the multiple methods of valuation and evaluate the “silent value” of your business.
Marketing
We have access to multiple resources that enables us to deliver a custom marketing plan that meets and more often exceeds your expectations. Our methodology is a riffle versus a shotgun approach. We leverage our relationships on your behalf and know specifically the types of buyers that will value your business as much as you do. Inexperienced business brokers will often try to impress you with the volume of buyers they can bring to you, wasting your time with buyers who are just “kicking tires” and not in a position to purchase your business.
Buyer searches
We research and screen potential buyers from our extensive buyer network of individuals and investment firms, only bringing you qualified buyers.
Financing
We facilitate commercial as well as unique financing alternatives, identify lending sources and prepare loan applications to make your business dreams a reality. We also pre-qualify the financiability of a business.
Mergers & Acquisition Transactions
We connect prospective partners, buyers and sellers in a variety of industry segments.
Negotiations & Closing
Working with a team of professional advisors we will present offers and walk you through the negotiating, due diligence and closing processes. As business owners and professional intermediaries, we’ve been through the process many times and are extremely skilled at executing our clients’ wishes every step of the way.
Business Consulting
We keep the entire team of professionals coordinated and informed. We offer expert counsel and everyday access to our principals – and, there’s no complicated fee structure or retainer. We only get paid if you get paid.
