Determining the Best Time to Sell Your Business ?
The best time to sell your business is when it’s performing at its peak. A profitable operation attracts higher offers and smoother negotiations. However, even if your company is facing challenges, there are still opportunities to achieve a successful sale — with the right guidance.
Our business brokers in Atlanta provide detailed business valuations to help you understand your company’s true market value. From financial analysis to due diligence, we ensure that you receive the maximum fair value and a seamless transition during the sale process.
Whether you’re located in Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb, or Gwinnett County, VR’s team helps answer the critical question — “What is my business worth?” — and ensures that you exit your business strategically and profitably.
Are you ready to Buy a Business?
In most cases, our recommendation is that you buy an established business, as 57% of “new” businesses fail within the first 3 years.
While an established business has a built-in market base with recurring revenues, proven products or services and tested locations. Most of the time, an established business can be successfully transferred through adequate training and a planned introduction to employees and existing customers and vendors.
And often, new owners take their recently acquired business to the next level by injecting fresh ideas, better management and a renewed energy and passion.

Where is the next mid-market company that is developing a technology that will not just capture a market, but create one? Where is the organization that has improved its operations, increased its profitability, grown its work force, and now needs options to advance past its competitors?
