Throughout the selling process with the number one building and construction business broker in Orange County, you can expect the following:

Confidentiality

As construction business brokers in Orange County, maintaining the seller’s privacy is our priority. Our advertisements are generic and contain no specific corporate information, not even the precise location.
Buyers do not received any confidential information until they complete a Confidentiality Agreement (NDA) and Buyer Profile, which asks questions about their financial background, qualifications, and credit score.


Email Marketing Campaigns

As a construction business broker in Orange County, we create email blasts and send them to our buyer database, which comprises over 3,500 active buyers. We also send email blasts to BizBuySell buyer database, which contains people who have expressed interest in construction companies involved in like yours.


Buyer Screening Qualifications

Verifying the buyer’s capability to manage the construction brokerage business and, more crucially, complete the transaction is a crucial part of selling construction and contractor firms. Due to the high demand and popularity of construction and contractor businesses among purchasers, we receive inquiries from a wide range of prospective buyers about these businesses.
Pacific Business Sales is a construction business broker in Orange County that specializes in selling construction and contractor companies like yours. We thoroughly assess potential buyers’ financial standing and their managerial skills. Inexperienced buyers might submit an offer, but from our experience as a broker construction company, they rarely complete the process.
Our construction brokerage business seeks out buyers who can successfully manage your business, are likely to close, and will do so while upholding your legacy.


Preparing The Offer

We use the Asset Purchase Agreement or Stock Purchase Agreement templates from the CABB (California Association of Business Brokers). As the leading construction brokerage business firm, our construction brokers in Orange County have experience with both Asset Sales and Stock Sales. Please note that asset sales differ from asset liquidations; for more information, visit our stock versus asset sale page.
From our experience as a contractor and construction business broker, we believe a stock sale might be preferred, especially if you sell a construction company with a contractors license and contracts in work. The corporate EIN and the most critical agreements connected with the corporate entity remain intact while the new owner purchases the company through a stock sale.
As a construction business broker in Orange County, we create the offer in collaboration with the buyer and deliver it via PandaSign for signature. We then review their offer with you once the buyer signs it, explain what is in it, and, if required, create a counteroffer.


SBA Financing

Over 90% of our business sale transactions involve SBA financing, which includes funding for construction and contractor enterprises of all forms and sizes.
We are contractor & construction brokers in Orange County with a history of working with SBA PLP (Preferred Lender Program) banks, so we are knowledgeable about their underwriting guidelines.
What does this mean for you, the vendor? Simply put, more cash at closing! If you use SBA financing, you don’t need a Seller Note to fund the sale. With a 10% down payment from the buyer, we can secure up to 90% (SBA financing) of the purchase price.
SBA financing will also cover the buyer’s purchase of your accounts receivable. That implies you will receive payment at the closing. Banks sometimes require a small seller note of 10% of the sale. So, in this case, you would get 90% cash at closing.


Construction and Contractor Business Marketing

It’s one thing for your advertisement to reach hundreds or thousands of people, but if no one engages and inquires, it serves no purpose.
Construction businesses seeking the services of our expert construction business brokers in Orange County get engaging headlines and detailed ad copy that encourage potential customers to click and learn more about your enterprise.
Additionally, we feature all our ads to appear at the top of websites that list businesses for sale rather than remaining hidden among other general ads. We invest in your company’s advertising to achieve the best outcomes.


Your Business Prospectus-Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM)

For each business we represent as a construction business broker in Orange County, we produce a thorough Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM). Buyers receive the CIM after signing the NDA to help them in decision-making as it is your company’s prospectus and marketing brochure.

Our CIM features the following:

  • Your company’s history
  • Staff roster (with names withheld)
  • Products or services synopsis
  • Recast business information and financial statements
  • A list of your equipment
  • SBA financing structure
  • A pre-approval letter from an SBA lender

Meetings Between Buyers And Sellers

The inaugural meeting with potential purchasers takes place with us, serving as a pre-screening to determine their suitability to manage your firm and, quite honestly, their level of interest and commitment.
Following this meeting, we, your construction-contractor business broker, will organize another conference call with you and the buyer to go over the business specifics.
As a construction-contractor business broker, we answer the most crucial questions during our first meeting. Still, because buyers prefer to get the answers straight from the seller, they typically ask specific questions again.
Most of our first meetings between buyers and sellers take place through Zoom, with the subsequent meetings taking place face-to-face for buyers who decide to proceed. Naturally, making an offer is the next step after.


Due Diligence

A crucial step in the sale of a construction brokerage business is performing due diligence.
To confirm that the earnings and revenue are accurate, the buyer, often represented by their CPA, reviews the company’s tax filings, bank statements, profit and loss statements, and other records.
Additionally, the buyer will assess the company as a whole to ensure it is a stable and well-managed enterprise. Our construction brokerage business is at the center of the due diligence process, assisting the buyer and seller throughout and managing its progress. Completing due diligence and eliminating due diligence contingency takes us to the next step; opening escrow.
We, as a construction business broker in Orange County, are familiar with the operations of the construction and contractor industries, the specific financial statements they use, and dealing with inventories, work-in-progress, and accounts receivable.
Most significantly, as a construction broker in Orange County, we know how to successfully sell a construction company by maximizing its value.
Your construction business brokers in Orange County need to be familiar with your firm, communicate in your language, comprehend the structuring of offers and transactions for contractors or construction firms, and understand the SBA financing process.
Bill Grunau, the team leader at Pacific Business Sales, has over 20 years of experience selling to construction and contractor firms. Our business broker construction company utilizes SBA financing on more than 90% of our deals, which results in our sellers receiving more money when they sell a construction company.
