Buyer-Seller Meetings

We conduct the first meeting with potential purchasers, which serves as a preliminary screening to determine whether or not they have the experience and skills necessary to operate your firm successfully and, frankly, whether or not they are genuinely interested in doing so. During our initial meetings, we seek to find the ability of interested parties to run the business. We are also keen to gauge their interest level and if they are committed to buying. After establishing a serious buyer, that is when we call for a meeting between the seller and buyer.

While most of the primary topics are covered in the first meeting, buyers often ask them again to get further information from the seller.

Many of our first meetings with prospective buyers are conducted via Zoom, and successive meetings with serious buyers are made in person. The next step is to put together an offer based on the information we gathered in our discussions.
