"Richard Flask - You Made My Dreams Come True!"
I wanted to take a few moments to express my appreciation for all you did to make my dream of owning a business become a reality. As you know, I had been looking for a business for three years and had limited success finding anything to fit my guidelines. During that time span, I had solicited the help of several brokers throughout the Tampa Bay area, but had no luck. Within a matter of days after contacting you for help, you found the perfect business, executed a purchase agreement, and the offer was accepted 4 hours after I signed the documents. Because of the complexity of the purchase, I know you put forth great effort and overcame several obstacles to make the deal go through.

HOW TO PICK A BUSINESS BROKERAGE FIRM
Identifying excellence in a professional business brokerage firm shouldn't be difficult. Take, for example, the following criteria:

• Proven track record of successful business closings
• High closing ratios
• Ready access to buyers and sellers, both nationwide and internationally
• Systems and processes to match buyers and sellers
• Highly experienced and credentialed professionals
• Unsurpassed standards of business ethic
• Membership in all significant industry associations, group listing services, multiple listing services and brokerage networks

Founded in 1994 by Roger J. Murphy, Murphy Business & Financial Corporation meets these criteria. As a result, the firm has become one of the nation's largest and most successful business brokerage firms, with offices conveniently located throughout the United States.

Why Use An Intermediary

The business owner is an expert at running the business but may not be as knowledgeable about the selling process. An intermediary will provide the business owner with strategic information regarding market timing, market conditions, market price, financing options, structuring the transaction and other information that is advantageous to the owner.

Facilitator
Procrastination and delay are critical factors when structuring a deal. Therefore, an intermediary will continually move the process forward with qualified buyers, financing resources, and ancillary associations to the deal such as CPAs and attorneys. An intermediary is in a better position to perform this function than the owner as he/she is focused on the life cycle of the deal. The owner will be allowed to focus on operating a profitable business.

Negotiations
Selling a business is often emotional for the business owner. An intermediary will act on behalf of the owner and will establish a strong negotiating position without compromising the goodwill and relationship between the principal parties. An intermediary will increase the opportunity to receive the best price for the business.

Resources
An intermediary is a skilled professional in the mergers & acquisition world and has established relationships with many professional organizations which are required to complete the transfer of ownership. These relationships will prove to be extremely beneficial to the business owner and the buyers.

Confidentiality
An owner could experience disastrous results by leaking that the business is for sale. Employees, customers, suppliers and competitors relationships could be damaged causing an adverse condition hurting the potential sale. An intermediary will preserve the confidentiality of the selling company during the process of marketing the business and only share information on a need to know basis.

Advisory
The business owner is an expert at running the business but may not be as knowledgeable about the selling process. An intermediary will provide the business owner with strategic information regarding market timing, market conditions, market price, financing options, structuring the transaction and other information that is advantageous to the owner.
