Join Sunbelt of Long Beach & Beverly Hills “PREFERRED PURCHASER CERTIFICATION PROGRAM” and stand out in the crowd of business purchasers and get the business you want!!

The first thing a seller asks us when we present a potential buyer is: are they serious, do they have the experience/background to run this type of business and do they have the financial strength & down payment to do the deal?

Let’s look at it from the Sellers perspective for a minute…during the sales process they will be asked to share a significant amount of private information about their business, normally one of their largest personal assets. Not just financial information but details about clients, suppliers, employees, and how they go about making their money. They expect that they will only have to share this information with serious buyers. Presenting your credentials and validating that you have the financial wherewithal to do the deal sets you apart in the eyes of the seller. It will also add credence to any offer you make and will be helpful with banks, landlords, etc.

Set yourself apart from the numerous lookers that sellers are trying to avoid, you will be received seriously by all the parties you work with when you buy your new business.

LEARN THE PROCESS: Receive a personal presentation on the keys to successfully searching for and buying a business as well as an in depth review of your purchase criteria and the process and flow of buying a business.

PRESENT YOURSELF AS A QUALIFIED BUYER: Have a profile prepared to present yourself in the most professional manner to sellers, bankers, landlords etc.  Provides a professional biography of your work history, a pre-qualification letter from a third party lender as well as source of down payment and references show all parties your serious intent and capability to purchase a business.

FINANCIAL PREQUALIFICATION: We will guide you in getting yourself pre-qualified for a SBA loan. Taking this step allows you to present yourself as a serious and prepared purchaser and also gives you a sense of the size business you will be financially able to handle.

PRIORITY NOTIFICATION OF NEW BUSINESSES FOR SALE: One of the keys is being the “first to know” about new businesses available for sale. The “PREFERRED PURCHASER CERTIFICATION PROGRAM” provides you with advance notice of all new Sunbelt Long Beach & Beverly Hills business for sale. Providing you with the opportunity to strike first on those great businesses, which are so hard to find.

PRIORITY SELLER-BUYER MEETING: The key to any purchase is getting that first meeting with the seller to learn about the business details. From this meeting the buyer can make an offer and secure the business for due diligence review. Whenever possible our “PREFERRED PURCHASER” clients get priorities** in these meetings.

PROFESSIONAL FULL TIME REPRESENTATION: The process of working with Business Brokers, the lack of a multiple listing service and getting the attention of a qualified Business Broker are all challenges. Our “PREFERRED PURCHASER CERTIFICATION PROGRAM” leverages our reputation and relationships in the industry providing you with more effective responses from other Business Brokers than you can often achieve on your own.

Please register in the “PREFERRED PURCHASER CERTIFICATION PROGRAM” or call us at 562 248 0300 and ask for the “PREFERRED PURCHASER” coordinator.
