Chief Business Strategist | Business Broker | Advisor | InvestorAs a business strategist, legal and financial advisor, I help startup entrepreneurs grow your business by installing enterprise-level accounting systems (bookkeeping, payroll, A/P, A/R, and tax planning), operational policies, departmental standard operating procedures and legal strategies to mitigate risks, to professionalize your company, scale up using micro M&A growth strategies, increase sales using geometric 5L asset optimization, and successfully exit your entrepreneurial endeavor by leveraging exit multiple arbitrage. As a business broker, I help facilitate the sale of your business by acting as an intermediary between you and the buyer. During this process, I perform the following services:(1) Valuation: The first action step is to help you, the seller, understand the value of your business,(2) Marketing: my next step is to create a marketing plan with printed direct mail materials and online ad copy (emails/website portal ads/social media ads) to advertise the sale,(3) Negotiation: The third step is to filter inquiries from prospects to chafe out unqualified buyers, then facilitate negotiations using letters of intent (LOIs), as well as assist with negotiating sales price, contract terms and conditions, and reducing the final agreement to writing by the attorneys of the respective parties,(4) Due Diligence: with a signed contract in place, I help move the needle forward by coordinating the site/building inspections, working legal and financial advisors to ensure the transaction is compliant and tax-efficient, and assist with other conditions precedent,(5) Pre-Closing: In this final stage of the purchase and sale, I help the title agent/attorney prepare a closing checklist and all legal documents to consummate the sale,(6) Closing: This is where you and the buyer meet to sign and close the deal!
