Expert Guidance for the Sale of Your Business

Selling your business is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. You need the right expert at your side. Kathy DeVries has earned the Certified Business Intermediary “CBI” designation, the brokerage industry’s highest credential through advanced training, proven experience, and a strict code of ethics.

When you work with a CBI you’re working with a professional to

  • Help you prepare the business for sale
  • Help you create a vision, strategic process, and goals for your exit
  • Value your business accurately
  • Protect your confidentiality
  • Negotiate the best terms for the sale
  • Guide you through the process
  • Market your business to attract the right kind of buyer

Your business may include a lease or the sale of property. In some cases the business’ related real estate may comprise a large portion or more of the value compared to that of the business. Did you know that businesses and real estate are valued differently?

That’s why Thrive Acquisition is also a real estate brokerage. We understand how to position the business and the real estate together as a package deal so that each piece of the transaction supports the other, maximizes value, and streamlines the transaction process. We advise on lease and sale terms and conditions, broker opinion of value for the property, and whether selling or leasing is the better option in dealing with a number of potential buyers.

If you’re considering selling in the next three to five years, it’s time to contact Thrive Acquisition to discuss your needs, ideas, and goals for your business transition.
