The Henderson Business Group Buying Process

print

We take all of the guess-work out of purchasing a business, which can be accomplished in these simple steps:

1. Make an Appointment With Us
Contact The Henderson Business Group today so you can visit our office. Together we can determine your business goals and explore the possibilities of owning your own business. Contact us
2. Focus on Goals
Our Agents can help you determine your “ideal deal”. Through a simple interview process we work to understand your business goals and match your interests with businesses we have listed for sale. Part of our commitment to our Sellers is to help insure you are qualified and have the financial resources and experience to purchase the businesses you may be interested in.
3. Confidentiality
Before any information is given out concerning businesses listed through The Henderson Business Group, a Buyer will need to sign a Confidentiality Agreement. This agreement helps insure our client's best-interests are looked after. After this agreement has been signed our Agent will share with you the business information concerning sales price, cash flow, tax returns, employee data, annual sales, profit and loss statements, leases, reason for selling, business location(s) and much more.
4. Touring the Business
It is important for you to meet the current owner as well as see the business for yourself. The Henderson Business Group coordinates these tours which can occur at our office, at the business, or at a neutral location. This gives the Buyer ample opportunity to ask anything they wish of the Seller regarding the information that has been presented thus far as well as any other questions they may have.
5. Offer to Purchase & Acceptance
Once you decide to make an offer we will assist you in determining what conditions and contingencies the offer should include. Our Agents coordinate and communicate all negotiations until both parties agree on the final terms of the purchase.
6. Financing
The Henderson Business Group has a proven program to help Buyers obtain financing. Typically the Buyer will need to supply 25% of the purchase price, with the rest of the purchase price available from lenders. With over 2,000 transactions completed by our Agents/Affiliates since 1982, our organization has gained the respect of bankers and lenders nationwide.

Our Agents will lead you through the entire financing procedure and help you develop a loan package consisting of the financial records of the business you are buying along with your personal financial records.
Our team will assist the Buyer in the presentation of this package to several institutions and help the Buyer research the terms they offer so you can decide which loan commitment is best for you. After you complete the loan application our Agent will assist you throughout all the remaining details.

7. Closing
Once a mutually agreed upon date and location are determined the Buyer & Sellers will meet and sign the appropriate documents, at which time the transfer of ownership occurs!
