Selling A Business

The Montana Group specializes in selling a business valued between $10 million and $50 million. This means our focus is operating businesses with a least $2 million in annual pretax profits located in the United States and Canada. As a business owner you are often times left without an acceptable in-house alternative to selling your business, such as an internal sale or a generational transfer but would like to reap the benefits of their hard work while eliminating the risk and complexities of owning the business.

We typically represent company owners and sell businesses to private equity groups or strategic buyers, those within the industry who need to grow through business acquisitions or business mergers . Since 1991, The Montana Group business brokers have assisted in business sales with an aggregate transaction value exceeding $400 million. These businesses are in the manufacturing, distribution, and service sectors of the economy.

If you are looking to sell a business, please consider The Montana Group's process of a successful transaction:

• Review and recast (to optimize cash flow) several years of financial statements in order to enhance your
  business valuation
• Properly prepare a detailed memorandum which clearly presents your company
• Source potential purchasers who have a logical interest and sufficient capital when selling your business
