Guided Acquisitions will assist with:

• Narrowing your business target criteria based on your experience, skills, goals, and financial capabilities. If your search is too broad, you are unlikely to find the right fit
• Identifying a list of potential businesses that meet your criteria
• Contacting the business owners to determine their interest in selling. If you don't approach business sellers the right way, they are unlikely to discuss a potential sale with you
• Screening businesses that show interest to make sure they meet your basic criteria and should be examined further

Guided Acquisitions will show you how to buy a business.  Most importantly, Guided Acquisitions will show you how to properly evaluate the businesses you find in order to make sure you make a good investment.  This includes looking at much more than the financial statements.

Once you have identified a business acquisition target, we will work with you to:

• Determine the information needed to evaluate the business
• Examine the financial statements as well as the factors that create "goodwill" value
• Determine the business seller's initial asking price
• Arrange a 3rd party business value assessment
• Negotiating with the business seller

Guided Acquisitions can help you determine options for financing your business purchase.  The current lending environment has been challenging but good deals are still getting done.  The key is finding both the right business and the right finding source.  Guided Acquisitions can put you in front of both.  There are also a number of alternative financing methods that most buyers never consider.  You can only make the best decisions if you know all of your options.

Guided Acquisitions will work with you to:

• Identify financing sources and determine their interest in the deal
  
• Determine whether the business is suitable for an SBA loan
• Analyze the assets of the business and suggest additional creative financing options

Many buyers make it to the last stages of a deal only to have it collapse at the 11th hour.  Most times this is due to not completing all of the business acquisition steps in order to avoid a last minute snag in the deal.  If you follow a system for each deal, you can ensure that you don't skip an important step in the process only to have you, the business owner, or your advisors discover an issue that was not properly addressed.  Sometimes, there are last minute issues with the bank or issues with the contract that must be worked out by the attorneys.  By working with a professional intermediary such as Guided Acquisitions, you can work out most of the problems if you uncover them early enough.  The result is a win-win deal that both the business buyer and business seller will be pleased with.
