Buy a Business

How To Buy A Business With VR Business Brokers:

Step One: Submit an inquiry to contact the seller/broker on one of our businesses for sale through any of our listing sites.

Step Two: You will receive an email response indicating that we’re requesting that you complete an NDA to get more information. Look for this email and complete the form, it may be in your junk mail folder. You can complete it on your phone or on a desktop, and you can sign with your finger on a mobile device.

Step Three: After receiving your completed NDA, we like to chat with any prospective buyer before releasing confidential information about our businesses for sale. As you can imagine, some buyers have no business buying the business they’ve inquired about! Please call us at (919) 628-0571 or return/accept our call for the “Verbal Screening.” It will take less than five minutes.

Step Four: After the brief verbal screening we will “Release” the Confidential Business Review, or CBR, that details the business. The CBR will include the name of the business as well as pictures, sales figures, and more. Our CBRs are normally between 3-15 pages. This report will answer 80-90% of your questions, and possibly create more questions!

Step Five: Call us to discuss any remaining questions at (919) 628-0571. When you are ready to meet the owner and see the facility, we’ll ask you to “Prove Funds” that support what you’ve represented on Step Two.

Step Six: After meeting the owners, visiting the business, and getting all of your questions answered, it’s time to make an offer. We can assist you with an offer or we can accept an offer from your business attorney.
