Steve Sink is the founder and managing partner of Phoenix Affiliates Ltd., a business brokerage firm with five business brokers. For the past 10 years Phoenix Affiliates has successfully represented hundreds of buyers and sellers in the sale or acquisition and purchase of businesses both nationally and internationally.
Buyers and sellers use his services for the following reasons:
- Confidentiality. Protecting the confidentiality of the transaction is the main concern of all parties.
- Managing the sale. It is almost impossible to simultaneously run a business while trying to sell it.
- Financing. Securing financing for a business transaction can be a major challenge. Negotiations. Sellers and buyers will need to work together after the sale. Using a third party keeps the process moving forward.
- Preparation. Lack of preparation to sell increases the time needed to close the sale. This is the No. 1 reason for the failure of a sale.
