7 Step Buying Process

The process begins with finding the right business opportunity. Buyers can browse our listings or work with our brokers to identify off-market opportunities tailored to their interests, financial capacity, and strategic goals. We assess factors such as industry trends, growth potential, and acquisition fit.

Once a potential business is identified, buyers must sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to protect sensitive business information. After signing, we provide a detailed Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) or business overview, which includes financials, operations, and key business details.

Buyers review the provided materials and assess whether the opportunity aligns with their investment criteria. If interested, they request an initial call with Archstone Business Brokers to discuss high-level details. Upon further interest, a second call is arranged with the business owner for a deeper dive into operations and strategic fit.

Once the buyer decides to proceed, they submit a Letter of Intent (LOI), outlining the proposed purchase price, deal structure, financing terms, due diligence period, and contingencies. Our brokers facilitate negotiations to ensure a fair agreement for both parties before moving forward.

After the LOI is accepted, the buyer conducts thorough due diligence. This includes verifying financial statements, contracts, legal obligations, operations, and potential risks. Archstone Business Brokers coordinates the process, ensuring a smooth and efficient review.

Once due diligence is completed and contingencies are cleared, the final Purchase Agreement is negotiated and signed. This legally binding contract details the final terms of the transaction, including financing, asset transfers, and transition plans.

The final step is closing the transaction, which includes transferring ownership, finalizing payments, and executing any required transition support. Our team ensures a seamless handover, allowing the buyer to confidently take over the business.
