Starting and running a business is a life-changing endeavor for many business owners, so when it comes time to move on to the next stage of life, it's not as simple as closing up shop, locking the doors, and walking away. The business owner has done more than work a job. They've built something. Through sacrifice, adaptability, and persistence, they've built a life, a community, and a path for others to succeed. In fact, they've created a legacy that's worth preserving. However, many business owners are unaware of the options available to them- options that would enable them to walk away from their companies without walking away from their legacy. As a current Real Estate Broker and Certified Residential Appraiser with over 35 years in the industry, I am familiar with the equity built up in a home as a homeowner invests in it over time. And likewise, businesses build up a type of equity that, when the time is right, can provide a significant financial return on their investment from over the years. Having purchased and sold my own franchised businesses, I realize that not knowing what to do and what steps to take can cause many business owners to leave money on the table at the end of their entrepreneurial journey. By understanding the owners that Negotium Brokerage works with, what they've built, their industry, and the state of the market, we are able to help them know what their business is worth, strategize business solutions to help their business increase in value, find and connect them with the right buyer at the right price, and to do it all in a way that allows them to focus less on the stress of what's next for their business and more on the peace that comes with knowing someone is working on their behalf to help
