FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF FIRST LANDMARK’S SERVICES:
MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition entrepreneurship is the alternative to a venture capital(VC) backed or boot-strap start-up. The venture backed start-up statistically has a 75% chance of not succeeding, so VC backed ventures are not all they are cracked up to be.
Our listing and selling process involves the following:
- Educating and setting up the listing with the seller with utmost confidentially.
- Securing a proper valuation (Pricing) of the business.
- Establishing a tailored marketing plan.
- Working with qualified buyers to generate presentable offers.
- Presenting all offers and closing the sale.
- Additional services include business advisory and consulting
Franchise Sales
We represent a large number of franchises and make those available to our buyer clients.
FRANCHISE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Franchising your business can be an extremely effective method to expand your business. First Landmark can assist with the preparation of your business and marketing plans along with other collateral materials including marketing your franchise through our network of Business Brokers.
Financing
First Landmark assists you in obtaining financing. Banks are reluctant to finance business purchases for several reasons. First, all small businesses attempt to minimize profits shown on financial statements to reduce tax liability. Also, a bank cannot manage a business if foreclosure becomes necessary. Therefore, over seventy-five percent of business purchases are financed by the owners, which demonstrates the seller’s confidence in the businesses ability to sustain itself.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Unlike the sale of real estate or franchises, the sale of an ongoing business is very confidential for both the seller and the prospective buyer. All inquiries are held in strict confidence. Meetings are confidential, and we are available after hours and on weekends.
