Why Use an Intermediary to Sell Your Business? The use of an intermediary can triple the likelihood of a successful sale at a maximum price.  For the privately held company, we bring tools, techniques, databases and professionalism to the business selling process that a president or owner simply can’t achieve trying to sell a company on his own.  For the corporate group that wants to sell a business subsidiary, we bring focus and specialized expertise that pays tremendous dividends when the business is sold.    Client Profile At Douglas Group, we are selective and cautious about the business sales we undertake.  Our bias is to handle a smaller number of high quality sale transactions, as opposed to a larger inventory of less desirable sales. We represent honest and forthright business people, and we only want clients who will be comfortable with nothing less.  We like to deal in active industries where many businesses are being bought and sold.  And we have had equal success working with businesses owned by individuals as we have private shareholder groups or corporations seeking the sale of a subsidiary. We work in a wide range of industries, with key members of our staff focusing on selling certain business niches.  The businesses we sell may range in size anywhere from $10 million to $200 million in sales, with the majority being in the $10-100 million level.  As a result of our extensive search to find the highest and best buyers, around 90% of our seller clients close a deal with a buyer that was previously unknown.

Success Rate/Fee Structure We close in excess of 95% of the business sales we undertake.  Our fees are contingent upon successful sale, and are structured in a unique way to ensure that we achieve top rewards only when we meet or exceed our seller client’s business sale objectives.  Specific fee structures are tailored to individual engagements, and are planned and negotiated privately with our seller clients. Confidentiality We go to great lengths to safeguard the confidentiality of our clients when working to sell a business.  We take pride in our zealous discretion.  We complete business sale transactions without leakage of information to customers, employees, or competitors.  We do not send out cold mass mailings with information that could identify our clients.  Instead, we do extensive research beforehand to learn who has the financial capability, the appetite, and the best fitted interests that match the businesses we represent for sale. Non-Disruptive We handle virtually all of the time consuming or potentially intrusive elements of the business selling process for our clients, off premise.  Client owners can continue to run their company without disruption or distraction.  Our buyer pre-qualification processes avoid “fishing expeditions”, thus reducing both stress to the owner and tension for staff members,  which maximizes the final sale price.

"Business owners get one chance to sell their business well, and only one.  We make sure that this single one-time event plays out to the optimal  reward for the business owner."                                            Debbie Douglas, Principal/Founder of Douglas Group                         in her book, Cashing In!  Selling Your Company For Maximum Price ORDER IT TODAY!  Call 314-991-5150
