Anyone can give you advice on buying a business, but only an expert in the field can give you the best advice.
That’s why more and more people are looking beyond the opinions of friends, accountants, and lawyers, and are turning instead to Corporate Investment International, Inc. (CII), the most professional network of business intermediaries in the world.
Making it on your own with help from CII.
Everyone has different reasons for choosing business ownership. Some want a change in lifestyle with more personal freedom and unlimited profit potential. Some plan to turn small businesses into family operations. Others choose to introduce new products and services through existing operations. And almost everyone is attracted by the estate building and tax advantages of owning a business.
Whatever your motivation, you can count on your CII Broker to introduce you to businesses that match your individual interests, goals and capabilities. Our office is linked by a worldwide Multi List system featuring thousands of qualified, available businesses in varying sizes and industry types. Choose from inventory offerings in your hometown, or in places you’ve always wanted to call home. Or, if you prefer your CII Broker can uncover business opportunities meeting your specific criteria.
The statistics tell it all.
The vast majority of all business buyers are first-time buyers, unprepared to meet the complexities of acquisition transactions.
More than 50% of all small to medium size business sales arranged without professional intermediaries result in buyer dissatisfaction.
Whether you’re prepared to invest $50,000 or $50 million, your first question about any business opportunity should be, "Why is this business for sale?"
CII intermediaries have the answers. Often times, an owner’s motivation is obvious – he or she may be ready to retire or is having health problems. There may be difficulties in a partnership, or a divorce. But, what if the reasons aren’t so apparent?
How can you protect yourself from morning-after ‘surprises’?
This is where CII’s professional edge can really make a difference in a successful acquisition. We will make every effort to provide you with pertinent information on a target company’s financial performance, staffing, facilities, equipment, inventory, product lines, customers, and market areas served. Where we can’t provide verification of information given to us, we will let you know.
Other business brokers might not be so forthright.
We will help you arrive at a realistic analysis of an operation’s strengths. We will be honest about its weaknesses. And we will urge you to be clear about your objectives and capabilities. CII brokers are interested in making matches between buyers and businesses, not just in earning commissions.
Buying a Business may be the most important decision you’ll ever make.
If you are like most people, you’ll buy a business only once in your lifetime. One shot at turning your visions into reality. One shot at getting it all right, or getting it all wrong.
If you’re ready to invest your resources in a business of your own, talk it over with a CII professional. We are ready to help you own a business you can really enjoy and grow with.
We are ready to help you meet your match.
Smooth transactions lead to successful transitions.
Whether you’re a first time business buyer or a seasoned investor, you can look to CII for assistance in every phase of the transaction.
CII intermediaries are accomplished trained business professionals with successful backgrounds in careers ranging from management and accounting, to real estate, law, marketing and sales. They receive continuous, advanced education in the art and regulation of business valuation, deal structuring, negotiation, deal closing and follow-up. Each broker consults with professional accountants and lawyers to provide practical expertise in legal, financial and tax issues, and each broker is committed to the highest standards of professional ethics.
In short, CII intermediaries aren’t just ordinary business brokers. They’re business transition experts, with more than $350 million worth of transaction experience to prove it.
Professional resources, resourceful people, and a fundamental commitment to being an entrepreneur, that’s the CII difference, and we are ready to put it to work for you. Please contact us for a confidential discussion about your needs or a copy of our Buyer Profile form for you to complete.
