Confidentiality in Marketing

Realizing that the peaceful continuity of a business is vital to a business owner, all marketing materials are developed in a generic manner to protect the identity of the seller. Potential buyers are screened and pre-qualified to insure that their intent is truly serious and committed to purchasing a business. These buyers are then required to sign a Confidentiality Agreement before allowed to review information of the business.

Negotiation Assistance

During the process of selling a business of any size, many complex issues will be encountered that may each have a material impact on the success of the transaction. Sellers will find it difficult to remain neutral after investing their lives and financial resources in growing their business. The experienced agents of NorWest Business Sales will add much value by keeping an emotionally charged event running smoothly.

What makes NorWest a Professional deal maker?

The answer is simple: we qualify our listings for financing before ever presenting them to the public. We know in advance who or what makes sense to our prospective Buyers. Some businesses are financiable by outside lending sources and others are not. For those that are not, we make sure the seller is willing and able to provide necessary financing to create a sensible buying scenario. It is for this very reason we qualify our buyers very carefully, for their financial stability, credit worthiness and enough cash to satisfy seller and/or landlord.

Through a thorough investigation of the Seller's business, the available financing options and the financial qualifications of the prospective buyers, we can present realistic selling/buying situations that lead to successful deals.

Business Market Evaluations

NorWest Business Sales performs Business Valuations and Opinions of Value for the general public and for other reasons; e.g. third party appraisals for partnership buyouts, divorce, tax challenges, estates and incorporation's.

Over the years, NorWest Business has found that when preparing a business for sale, one of the first and most important steps is performing an accurate Market Valuation. This takes the guesswork out of knowing what the asking price should be and lets the buyers know that the Seller is serious about the sale by providing for the "prospective buyer" a professionally prepared package.
