Sell a Business in Calgary

Would you like to know what your Business is worth today?
Have you thought of selling or maybe you need to sell the business due to health, retirement or other reasons?

We have a unique methodology for selling a business that involves several key steps. One of the first Steps is determining the Value of your Business.

Once the Value of your business has been determined the next step would be to either:
- Work with the owner to Build a Sellable, Financeable, Business or
- List the Business for sale.

Our Business Listing Approach

• We do not list just any business for the sake of having another listing. Each business we list has been carefully reviewed and selected.
• We insist on confidentiality. Inexperienced sellers will ignore this critical requirement which can have a devastating effect on the operation of the business from loss of suppliers to low staff moral.
• We carefully review and qualify each buyer inquiry. We then find a like-minded entrepreneur who has the passion to take the business to the next level. After all we want to see the business continue operating and see the new owner succeed!

Customer Comments

I recently sold my business through Matthew Buxton and wanted to share my experience with others in the hopes that they can learn from what I did right and avoid some of my costly mistakes.

A few years ago I bought a business direct from a seller. I had limited previous experience and ended up writing up the deal through a lawyer that bled me dry for basically reading to me, nothing more. We ended up running the business for a couple years with mixed results.

We decided to sell the business. We contemplated the pros & cons of selling direct or through a broker. We decided to go with a broker and chose Matthew Buxton mainly because for us the cost of arranging showings & negotiating a price were worth the cost. It took a long time to sell in a very weak market. Matthew didn’t lose focus and kept optimistic about a sale. His optimism helped us through moments when we were prepared to shut down the business and walk away.
The sale happened. We ended up netting around $100k more than we thought we would.
During the whole process, I didn’t have to negotiate with people, arrange appointments or worry about any other details, I simply retrieved business information as requested. This feeling of having someone on your team was priceless.

In hindsight, I could have avoided some costly errors by using Matthew to purchase my business. I paid way too much for legal fees that turned out to be for very poor legal advice and got sucked into a lease that obviously wasn’t in my best interest. The price I paid for the business wasn’t backed up by the numbers and this would have been recognized by a professional like Matthew who has had years of experience analyzing and valuing businesses for a living.

The bottom line here is that paying a commission to a professional business broker such as Matthew is a small price to pay for the objective, experienced advice & guidance you get in return. Think big picture and it will save you from making big, costly mistakes.
