Deciding to sell your business is the easy part. How to go about selling it is another challenge altogether. Sunbelt has been in the business of selling businesses for over 25 years. Sunbelt of Miami Valley's brokers are well-trained professionals who are aware of your needs. In fact, many of our brokers have experience as business owners and are familiar with the Dayton marketplace.

Whether you are ready to sell your business now are just beginning to consider selling, call our office for a Confidential, no cost appointment. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Sunbelt of Miami Valley's brokers can help those buying or selling a business in any of the four areas of the private business market:

Main Street Businesses
General businesses that usually have gross sales of $1,000,000 or less per year and have 20 or fewer employees (95% of US businesses fall into this category).

Franchise Sales
At Sunbelt of Miami Valley, our brokers are pleased to represent a select group of franchisors with a proven track record of success in their field. When you buy a franchise, you are in business for yourself, but not by yourself. These franchisors have proven business systems and known names in their respective markets.

Franchise Resales
Thousands of existing franchise businesses resell every year, often for "human driven" reasons: the owner retires, dies, is in poor health, is getting a divorce, is relocating or experiences other life-changing circumstances. We always want to know why someone is selling a business, and so do you. Depending on the circumstances, the sale of an existing franchise may present a good business opportunity for the buyer. An existing franchise has the advantage of being an existing business plus the ongoing support provided by the franchisor. Those looking to buy a franchise can benefit from the professional assistance provided at Sunbelt.

Middle Market
Sunbelt is a market leader in managing middle market transactions in the range of $3,000,000 - $30,000,000.

 

Why Sunbelt of Miami Valley?

Knowledge & Experience

Your Sunbelt Broker will help you in Recasting or Normalizing your financial information to capture the true Seller's Discretionary Earnings. This allows you to show the business' true earning capacity and allows  you to maximize the value of your business.
