Our financial experts will provide you with an opinion of value based on our combined experience in the gas & fuel marketplace. Business valuations are based on assets, inventory at Seller’s cost and “Owner’s Benefit” (or discretionary cash flow), which is comprised of the corporation’s net income plus owner’s salary, interest expense, depreciation, discretionary expenses and other personal “perks” paid to the owner by the business.

The “goodwill” of your business (the value above and beyond the physical asset value) is generally based on a multiple of Owner’s Benefit that varies according to business type and industry.

The marketing plan to sell each business must be customized to capitalize on the strengths of the company and its future potential. After you agree to list your business with our firm, one of our experts will work closely with you to produce a complete offering memorandum or information package to attract the right buyers.

Based on your customized marketing plan, our experts will advertise your business using some or all of the following methods:

Multiple Listing Services (MLS) – Our firm has access to statewide virtual business-only multiple listing services.
Internet Portals– Our firm advertises your listing on the largest confidential business acquisition websites.
Internal Database - Our own network of domestic and international business buyers.
Loopnet – While not a primary vehicle for business acquisition, this may be suitable for some specialty business types.
Industry Contacts – With your approval, we may contact strategic parties (eg. competitors, clients or industry related businesses).
Industry Trade Associations and/or Media - Depending on the listing and location, we may recommend this avenue.

(We are always open to your ideas and suggestions in our quest to procure prominent and qualified buyers for your business.)

Your customized business marketing package will only be presented to qualified Buyers who have signed a Non Disclosure Agreement and proven their ability to buy the business through receipt of a personal financial statement and resume (if applicable).
