Differentiating Benefits of Working with CBA

We’re professional negotiators – We’ve seen thousands of transactions and have helped hundreds of business owners exit successfully. We corral every possible buyer in the market to compete in buying your business.

We save valuable time – CBA business brokers quarterback the sale of your business. We are leaders in bringing all parties together in an efficient manner. Other professional advisors, such as attorneys, are often discouraged from speaking with “the other side,” causing costly delays. Inexperience fills the pockets of professionals that are paid by the hour. We know when to hold parties accountable and how to keep the transaction moving toward the closing table.

We protect you – CBA utilizes a proprietary process of providing buyers with just enough information so they will make their highest and best offer. We safeguard your most confidential information until an offer is made and accepted by you.

We make it to the finish line – Our specialty is keeping the business sale on track to close. Every business sale will experience at least three situations that derail the process. CBA predicts these issues and takes steps to prevent and rectify them quickly.

We help you save money – We help coordinate the closing and use proprietary forms to save you money on your legal expenses. We add incredible value by assisting in the many steps of selling your business, such as helping identify work in progress, prorations, AR/AP, and handling customer deposits.

We find the money – We have a financial incentive to ensure you don’t leave money on the table. Attorneys and CPAs don’t specialize in business valuations – or financing – and have rarely been involved in the sale of a business. It’s imperative to have an advisor who understands the marketplace, knows how to work with buyers, and knows how to negotiate favorable offers. You lose significant leverage when you have only one potential buyer. We create masterpiece marketing packages that attract as many buyers as possible. We create an arena in which buyers compete to purchase your business.

We support you in maintaining the business value – Working with a business broker at California Business Advisors can alleviate the time and stress of qualifying potential buyers and performing time-consuming due diligence requests. You’ll want to stay focused on running your business.

We educate the marketplace – CBA trains buyers through informative class offerings each week that guide them through the buying process. We show them how to write a great offer with our proprietary ATP form. The ATP form helps protect you in multiple ways.

We think like an M&A advisor – CBA uses advanced marketing techniques typically found on much larger business transactions in the M&A industry. Having seen hundreds of transactions above $5 million, we’re able to leverage systems such as industry research, targeted approaches, IOI/LOI strategies, management meetings, teasers/blind profiles, and more.
