Background/Experience:
When a company owner needs to sell their business, the need for experience is paramount, Business Team, a unit of BTI Group, is the Largest Business Brokerage Firm in the Western United States specializing in arranging the purchase and sale of privately owned companies. During our third of a century of existence, we have developed both an unmatched depth of experience (an aggregate of several hundred years!) and a vast network of individual, corporate, and investment group buyers.
For the last 40+ years I have been an executive and entrepreneur with emphasis in manufacturing and marketing, business development and sold equipment throughout the world, to some of the largest manufacturing companies including Intel Corp, Samsung and many others.
I have had the privilege of owning four (4) manufacturing companies and sold three (3) of the four, all of the companies are running successfully, one thing I have learned is that at the heart of it all… business stops and starts with MARKETING!
I differentiate myself by taking an advisory approach to the needs of Sellers and Buyers. I have the experience and expertise to value and present your business in the best manner possible, or assist you in identifying a business that fits your criteria and personal preferences.
Sellers benefit from our professional approach in packaging, presenting, and promoting their business, and from a vast database of registered qualified Buyers including entrepreneurs, investors, professionals and corporations.
Buyers benefit from our guidance through the, sometimes uncertain, road to business ownership, and from all the resources we bring to bear that they can leverage to make that transition smoother.
I look forward in partnering with you and assisting you in your goals.
