As members of the International Business Brokers Association we pride ourselves in deploying highly sophisticated methods of pre-screening potential sellers, and professionally marketing opportunities that have passed our rigorous scrutiny and thus represent real investment and business opportunities for buyers. We work on an exclusive representation terms with our partners and our listings are not available through public domains like the Multiple Listing Services (MLS). As the opportunities we represent are generally well-performing, established businesses we are very careful in marketing them confidentially and without disruptions to current operations. Each seller that works with Beacon is required to provide an extensive list of documentation and information prior to us valuing and marketing the opportunity. As part of our commitment to both sellers and buyers each business’ performance is summarized within a confidential memorandum that is made available to pre-screened buyers.

Our goal is to provide buyers with educated guidance and the best possible service to increase the chances of a successful transaction, whether they are a seasoned M&A professional or a first-time buyer. The shortest way to achieving a successful closing is by following our advice and experience, as well as embracing the process Beacon has developed to assist buyers through this sometimes overwhelming and exciting experience. The main steps of the business buying process consist of:

1. Identification of the right type of business that fits the buyer’s interest, time frame and capabilities;
   
2. Discussion and review of the confidential business information pertaining to the business for sale;
   
3. Introduction between the buyer and seller, and visit to the business operations;
   
4. Negotiation of the terms in the Purchase Agreement;
   
5. Investigation during the Due Diligence period;
   
6. Closing of the transaction
