Brokerage Services

Viking specializes in selling businesses valued in the $1mm to $70mm+ range. Through the years, we’ve found that most businesses valued in this range are still being run by the original founder who has his or her own specific reason for wanting to sell the business.

Regardless of your reason for wanting to sell, Viking can help you make it happen. We’ve spent over 25 years building a network of thousands of prospective individual buyers, and we can get your business in front of it—and many times, our existing buyer pool snaps up businesses before we ever need to advertise elsewhere. Get started on the path to selling your business by contacting Charlotte’s most successful business brokerage firm for a free consultation and business valuation.

Confidential / Free Business Valuation

You need to know what your business is worth when it’s time to sell; but, there are a number of other reasons why you may need to know this figure. Perhaps you’re in the process of obtaining a loan and need to understand your net worth? Or maybe you’re doing estate planning or simply shopping around for life insurance? No matter what your reason, Viking’s proprietary business valuation approach will provide you with a transparent, accurate estimation of your business’s worth based on data and science—not best guesses. And, the best part? The valuation is part of a no-cost consultation that we offer clients and potential clients. Why not get in touch today to get your business valuation started?
