Business Buyer Information
ABA Keeps all information with regard to a buyer and seller in the strictest of confidence. Confidentiality is often critical in this process in order to maintain a high level of integrity for the buyer as well as for the seller’s business operations.
FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE AS A BUYER:
Perhaps you would like to buy a business and finance a business such as a restaurant, liquor store or printing company. You have decided that you would like to find this “business for sale” in Chicago, suburban Chicago or some where in Northern Illinois. ABA will assist in the process of locating an existing “restaurant for sale” or some other business of interest. We will also discuss potential businesses we may currently have for sale in the greater Chicago area or some that may need an investor or a partner for private business financing. We can also offer business refinancing for a company you may currently own and need operating or other capital for.
Through our experiences with buyers and investors of all kinds, we have found that most are focused on being able to justify the amount that they are about to invest for a business. The issue comes down to cash flow, return on investment and market value as it relates to the sale price. Therefore, potential buyers like you are seeking someone to do a business valuation or analysis in order to help determine the potential value of their business of interest. You as a buyer are about to invest 10’s or 100’s of thousands of dollars (or even millions) and need to know what your money is going to buy or why you should spend your life savings on this opportunity verses some other. Doing business valuations or analysis and presenting genuine business opportunities is what we do and we are here to work for you.
WORKING TOGETHER:
 ABA works hand in hand with business buyers as well as business sellers. We target specific business types that certain buyers / investors have expressed an interest in. We make very confidential direct contact and initiate conversation as to the status of an existing business for sale or one of specific interest to our client. A variety of networking avenues come into play along with existing internal databases of past and present transactions or people happily involved in one way or another with American Business Acquisitions, Inc. NO stone is left unturned in our efforts of matching a business seller with a business buyer in order to create a win – win situation.
BUSINESS PROFILES:
As part of the process for buying a business, we will ask a potential buyer to register with our company. During the registration process we find out a little about each potential business buyer, if they are an individual or corporation, the areas of interest and other information that allows us to paint a basic picture of how we can help. We can then begin to provide a targeted, but General Business Profile that examines the different types of business a certain buyer has expressed an interest in. These are businesses that generally meet an area of expertise, background or current interest. We maintain contact and forward updates until we have a match with your criteria.
When more detailed information is requested, we move on to the Confidential Business Profile. This profile seeks to explain a specific business and the details as to what it is, where it is, how it operates, its history of operation, its operating and financial projections, its assets, all things included in the sale and also information relative to competition. At this time we consult and work with each party involved in buying the business in order to evaluate the business at hand. We then coordinate the entire purchase process.
