What Sigma Proudly Provides Business Buyers (That other Buyer Borkers DONT)

SIGMA’S STEP-BY-STEP MARKETING PLAN

The Other Guys

Rely mainly on public websites that advertise businesses for sale and rarely “hunt” to find those lucrative yet hidden businesses. Few calls or emails.

SIGMA’S THOROUGH QUALIFICATION PROCESS

Every business candidate is strictly vetted via our thorough interview process. We send you only the most promising and financially strong business opportunities.

The Other Guys

Most brokers send you every single business for sale — the good, bad and ugly. It’s up to YOU to vet them and hope they are a good fit. A recipe for regret.

SIGMA’S START-TO-FINISH CHECKLIST & PROCESS

The Sigma team takes care of everything. From the discovery phase to research and marketing to short-listing a qualified group of businesses to structuring offers to negotiation to coordinating financing and legal.

The Other Guys

Unfortunately, most brokers simply don’t lift a finger after the initial introduction. Any legal issues, tax questions or negotiation pitfalls… you’re on your own.

SIGMA’S GUARANTEED RESULTS

Expect to start getting businesses-for-sale leads within 7 days. Most buyer prospects target a quality business opportunity within the first 2-3 weeks. If you don’t get the business leads and opportunities you expect, you don’t pay.

Sigma Business Buying VS. An Attorney

You might think your attorney is the best person to help you buy a business. The truth is, the only thing most attorneys learned about businesses purchases is a brief mention in one of their classes years ago.

Of course, they won’t tell you this. They’ll accept the job and pretend to be experts, charging you eye-watering fees while they muddle their way through. To them, it’s just another transaction. To you, it’s your financial future. It’s your LIVELIHOOD.

Because buying a business isn’t just about the legal stuff – it’s so much more. It’s about psychology, marketing and ingenuity. It’s about studying the market and buying the right business for your goals and strengths. Plus, it’s also about understanding both the emotional AND practical sides of investing in a company.

When you’re buying a business, you want someone on your side who understands all this – that’s where Sigma comes in. We’ll be your Business Buying Coach, leading you through the process of buying a business from start to finish – so you can find the right company for you.
