The Richmond Business Environment

Business is booming in Virginia, which recently took the #1 spot as the state with the Best Overall Business Climate and ranked 1st in CNBC’s 2021 competitiveness rankings, claiming its fifth win since 2017 – more than any other state. The Greater Richmond area is home to a variety of substantial businesses including eight Fortune 500 and three Fortune 1000 company headquarters, which is no surprise considering the area’s low cost of business operations, acclaimed business environment, and opportunities for sustainable operations.
The presence of EO Richmond and EO SEVA further enhances the business-friendly environment, offering shared experiences and collaborative learning to entrepreneurs across the region.

What Else Can Viking Help Me With?

Mergers & Acquisitions
Do you need assistance with merging or acquiring a Southeast Virginia business? We can help. Whether you’re looking to set up a minority ownership deal or need help working with private equity firms and strategic buyers, find confidence knowing that our Richmond business brokers are as well versed in M&A as in selling businesses outright.
Viking’s Richmond business brokers have a proven track record of selling businesses and will work with the buyer on your behalf to negotiate a deal that gives you the cash you need while specifying your continued level of involvement. To learn more about Viking’s merger and acquisitions services, contact us today.

Brokerage Services
Viking specializes in selling businesses valued in the range of $1mm to $50mm+. Through the years, we’ve found that most businesses valued in this range are still being run by the original founder, each of whom has his or her own unique reason for wanting to sell the business.
Regardless of your reason, Viking can help. We’ve spent over two decades building a network of thousands of prospective individual buyers, and we can get your business in front of them. 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 our Richmond business brokers for a no-cost consultation.

Confidential, No-Cost Business Valuation
You already know that you need to calculate what your business is worth when it’s time to sell. But there are many other circumstances when you may need to know this figure. Perhaps you’re obtaining a loan and need to know your net worth, or maybe you’re shopping around for life insurance or doing estate planning? No matter 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? This valuation is part of a no-cost consultation that we offer clients and potential clients. Contact us today to get your business valuation started.
