Business Broker Services
Ranked as the Southeast U.S. Top Business Brokerage Firm, Viking Mergers & Acquisitions works with sellers throughout this region, specializing in selling businesses valued in the $1mm to $10mm+ range.
Are you considering selling your business? If so, you’re not alone! On average, businesses in the U.S. change hands every 7-10 years.
Since our founding in 1996, Viking Mergers & Acquisitions has sold over 900 businesses – and the majority of those by volume were in the $1,000,000 to $10,000,000 sales price range. Most businesses that are valued in this range are run by the original founder who may be looking to sell for a variety of reasons.
Successfully selling your business for market value can bring tremendous relief, a chance to rest and renew, and a financial gain by turning the theoretical book value of your business into actual cash. Learn more about our services below, and find out why Viking is consistently rated as one of the top business brokers in the southeast.
Note: Viking also represents businesses in the $10mm to $100mm range via our M&A Advisory Services.
Our Brokerage Approach: How it Works.
At Viking, our team believes in a full business brokerage service approach. This begins with your initial consultation and free business valuation where we create an estimate of your business’s value.
Then we list and market your business to generate interest and carefully screen the prospective buyers who contact us. All of this is done confidentially, without mentioning the name of your business or other sensitive details.
Qualified prospective buyers then sign an NDA agreement and are allowed access to additional information with your approval. Should the buyer request a meeting with you, we assist you before and during the meeting.
Once an offer letter is received, our intermediary explains the various terms of the offer and counsels you about accepting, rejecting, or issuing a counter-offer.
Once an accepted offer is in place, we assist you throughout the due diligence phase and recommend any outside professional assistance that you may need (such as accountants or lawyers) outside of our brokerage.
Finally, when due diligence is complete, it is time for closing, where all of the final papers are signed and the funds are transferred. At this point you’ve successfully sold your business. Viking will continue to stay involved and assist with any post-closing actions.
Relationships With Thousands of Qualified Buyers
Most businesses that sell in the $1mm to $10mm range are bought by either financial buyers or individuals who plan to own and operate the business themselves. At Viking, we have built relationships with thousands of prospective individual buyers who are actively seeking the right business opportunity. One of the many benefits of working with us as your business broker is your immediate access to the large and highly-qualified buyer pool we have been building since 1996. When we list a new business, we draw attention from this existing buyer pool even before we begin marketing to buyers outside of our network.
