All inquiries are held in the strictest confidence from the very beginning. At the initial meeting you will be provided with a binding “Confidentiality Agreement” so that you may be assured of discretion.
For those who are considering the sale of their business, The M.A.S. Group, LLC will perform a free, no obligation, preliminary market valuation to estimate the fair market value of your business based on industry standards for similar businesses. For those who are committed to the sale of their business, The M.A.S. Group, LLC performs in-depth valuations using a combination of "widely accepted" methods, comparable selling price ratios obtained through national databases, and application of specific industry standards.
We start with the preparation of an executive summary and pro-forma balance sheet. Just as a public company educates investors with a professionally prepared Annual Report, we educate potential purchasers with a comprehensive, in-depth analysis that shows the true owner benefit of the business This in-depth, well researched analysis is vital. We will not parade buyers through your company wasting your time, challenging confidentiality, and disrupting your organization. The analysis provides prospective purchasers with an accurate, concise, and informative tool that they can use to qualify your company. To obtain maximum value for your business, the buyer must develop a sense of confidence about the information they are considering. Prior to developing a marketing plan for the sale of your business, we analyze the markets that you and your competitors serve. Once they are satisfied with financial information, potential purchasers are most interested in product and market information. We must convince them that buying your business is a low risk proposition. By analyzing your competitors (including any additional markets that they serve), we are able to identify the most likely strategic buyers for your business. General industry information including growth rates, trends in product development, and trends in the local, regional and global market place are critical for convincing prospective buyers that the industry is healthy and growing. We develop a unique marketing plan for every business that we list. We market each business through a tailored combination of news paper advertising, direct mail, trade advertising, internet advertising and direct phone contact with specially selected potential purchasers.
We coordinate all buyer questions, meetings and visits. You will not meet a buyer until we are convinced they are a committed, qualified purchaser. We require all potential purchasers to sign comprehensive and binding Non-Disclosure agreements to ensure your confidentiality. Our job continues through the process of negotiating offers, financing, due diligence and the closing. Our goal is to protect you, your employees, clients and suppliers from the process. Our thorough research and attention to detail reduces the overall selling time by reducing the number of buyer/seller meetings required, the due diligence process, and the time necessary to gather documentation for lenders. A well prepared business takes an average of seven months to settle.
