How We Work For You

At Anthony Wayne Business Exchange (AWBE), we specialize in helping business owners sell their companies. Our mission is to ensure they receive the maximum financial benefit for their dedication and hard work over the years. A critical first step in this process is determining an accurate value for the business. If the proposed sale price and payment terms don't align with the owner's expectations, there's no point in putting the business on the market.

Our approach involves collaborating with various experts to devise a strategy that maximizes the financial gain from the sale. Pricing and timing are key elements in this process. Selling a business is complex because every business is unique. We conduct a thorough review of your business, considering all relevant factors to aim for the highest possible offer in a reasonable timeframe from a capable buyer.

If your business needs additional funding for expansion or restructuring, we have access to numerous lending sources across the country, each suited to different needs. These range from complete business acquisitions to increasing working capital, purchasing significant equipment, or a complete financial overhaul. For companies with solid business plans, we also facilitate venture capital sourcing.

Apart from sales, AWBE offers specialized business valuation services. These are useful for a variety of purposes, including estate planning, business dissolution, financial planning, or preparing for leadership succession.

Our team at AWBE brings extensive financial and market experience to the table, enhancing our ability to assist with acquisitions, growth, or sales of businesses.

Here’s how we handle the sale of your business:

Success in marketing numerous companies has been a hallmark of our service. Agreeing on a suitable price before marketing the business is vital. We employ diverse methods to calculate the most appropriate value for your business, considering industry standards and regional variations. This comprehensive approach ensures all aspects of the business are valued fairly.

After determining the business's value, we create an attractive sales presentation package. This includes the business's history, marketing strategies, competitor analysis, and financial overviews, highlighting the best aspects of your business to attract suitable buyers.

Confidentiality is paramount throughout this process. All potential buyers are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement before receiving any details about your business. We match these buyers with your expectations to find the right fit and commit to presenting your business only to qualified buyers.

Beyond the sale, we focus on the seller's future plans and motivations. Understanding whether the seller looks forward to spending more time with family, traveling, or pursuing other interests is crucial. This insight helps us tailor our approach to meet their specific goals and motivations.

Additionally, AWBE offers unique consulting and coaching services to business owners and their teams. We aim to enhance business operations, ensuring you achieve maximum value and a smooth exit on your terms.

Since 1987, our team has worked tirelessly to ensure successful, efficient transactions for our clients. With AWBE, your goals are our mission.
