I decided to become a Business Broker in 2014 after a 40-year career in the food industry, where I held positions as President, General Manager, Vice President of Sales & Marketing and others. I was also a Counselor with SCORE for a time counselling small business owners. My goal was to help small Business Owners find Qualified Buyers for their businesses when they were ready to sell. I started as a Salesman with LINK Business LA which was part of an international network of Franchisees in the United States, New Zealand and Australia etc. At the time LINK was one, if not the, biggest brokerages in the world in terms of the value of businesses sold. I earned my Business Broker’s license in 2018 and became the Broker of Record for LINK Business LA with responsibility for supervising over 30 Salespersons. I have sold businesses in all kinds of industries such as Truck Stops, Print & Mail Centers, Car Wrapping Large Format Printing Companies, Bakery Coffee Shops, Comedy Clubs and more, and I do not have a particular specialization, The process is pretty much the same regardless of the type of business. I would love the opportunity to discuss your plans, as selling a business can be a lengthy process. It is also important to properly prepare a business for a sale because presenting the business to prospective buyers in the best light is important to receive the highest compensation possible, including your books and records.
