There is a secret you must know. Selling a business requires energy, expertise and time. The company must be well documented, its availability (but not its identity) aggressively marketed and the price and terms tightly negotiated. You could spend a lot of time selling your business. Time better spent and more safely invested maintaining the viability of the business.

Eyes on the road. A better way is to engage an experienced, assertive and knowledgeable firm to sell the business while you keep on running it.  You keep your eyes on the road and we'll find the best off ramp. Our job will be to do the paperwork. To contact sometimes hundreds of prospective buyers from numerous types of buyers. And to coordinate the details necessary to dot all the "I"s and cross all the "T"s. And all for one purpose. To find the "best buyer". The one who needs your business as much as you want to sell it.

It's a big market. It's Stonemark's mission to sell quality companies to qualified buyers quickly and efficiently. Today, with thousands of buyers, it's a big chore keeping track of who wants what. Knowing their criteria helps us match your details to theirs. But we must also create a fit between your goals, our system and the parade of potential buyers, to find good matches.

How we can help you.  It's our job to know a great deal about every engagement we accept. And to offer a variety of services. One that is right for every seller. We offer several different services from which you can choose. They are explained below.

And getting an expert on site should not require a long term commitment or substantial cost. Instead, Stonemark offers a Cross Roads program. We come on site, examine certain data, interview to know your goals and business operations and meet to deliver you our opinion of feasibility and capability before leaving. There is a cost, but its a minor investment that could lead to a major return when you sell out. Click here to see how it works.

Option #3: Insight Evaluation. Would you decide to sell without knowing the price? Would you buy a company without all the facts? The Evaluation program helps buyer and seller. Enlist Stonemark to inspect the business, convert and proforma financial statements and document the business, its industry and opportunity in writing. Your story must be told. And told well. So buyers and their advisors and intermediaries can see what you have to offer. Click here to learn more.
