The emphasis on all engagements of Georgia Business Associates is to create an in-depth understanding of the process of selling or buying a business. We provide, on a very confidential basis, decision making informative data to enable sellers or buyers to make fact based decisions. Our services assist sellers in the building of a solid basis of information to enable informed conclusions to be drawn by involved parties. We bring professional credibility and clarity to a transaction.
Sales
Our sales team provides intermediary services to business owners who have decided to sell their company. We begin by working with a seller to prepare a business to be taken to market. Professional business brokerage assistance includes guidance in valuing a business to establish a full value sales price, development of marketing programs, and the preparation of an in-depth confidential business review for each listing. If objective is a change of pace, diversification, expansion, or retirement we can help you achieve your goal. Our confidential process includes a thorough screening and pre-qualification of buyers to insure that they are serious and committed to buying a business.
Acquisitions
Specialized business brokerage and M&A services enable us to identify and locate businesses that meet the acquisition criteria of individual buyers. Through extensive consultation with buyers, unique interests are identified that guide our search for the right business. Confidentiality for buyer and seller is essential in the acquisition process. We perform target searches for companies that fit a buyer's specific requirements.
Mergers
Our professional staff can guide you every step of the way. The merger of a business with a similar and compatible business can bring significant benefits to the bottom line and add value to the transaction. Although we generally represent the seller, we also engage in representation of buyers.
Valuations
Fair and adequate evaluations of a business's operations are an important part of a successful sale. A thorough review of all pertinent and unique factors within a business contributes to a full and equitable conclusion of value. We provide professional counseling and guidance for the preparation of a company's profile, assist in industry review and research, prepare a confidential business review, develop background data from the marketplace, and prepare promotional information for the sales package. These steps all contribute to the recognition of the full value of a business.
