Started in 2006 we specialize in matching serious-minded entrepreneurs with just the right franchising/opportunity. We have been successful franchise owners ourselves for many years, with decades of experience in every aspect of business financing, ownership, management and marketing. We know how hard it is to make the right decision when you’re serious about starting your own business and getting it right the first time. At ABBG we share that expertise with you for one of the most important decisions. Much like an executive search firm goes to work placing a person in just the right job or career path for them, we provide the same service for people like you…true entrepreneurs who are bound and determined to be their own boss, capable of taking calculated risks, willing to work hard and, ultimately, dead set on being successful.

We’ll help you every step of the way in answering the key questions you really need to be asking yourself before you buy a business, and we’ll present you with options you may not know about or have even considered. We’ll not only help you to assess and recognize franchise/business opportunities that fit your individual lifestyle and business goals, but we’ll also help you gain access to a wide variety of high-level industry contacts, some of whom may not even advertise their opportunities. We’re closely networked with numerous, high-profile, hugely successful and reputable companies, all of which are looking for potential long-term partners like you.

At ABBG, we don’t want to be anybody’s life coach, but we do know what you may not when it comes to owning and operating your own business. And even if you’re an experienced entrepreneur, we believe we can expose you to some options that may be available to you that you may not even know or have thought about should you want to change gears or grow your business portfolio even further.

Whatever your individual circumstance, if you’re serious about owning a business, we want to help you find the right opportunity for you. Our hard-earned, positive reputation depends on it. We really look forward to talking with you.

Finding The Right Business ABBG Buying Process
Steps to Entrepreneurship
  • STEP 1: You have made the decision to control your financial future by purchasing a business. Owning a business is the greatest way to build wealth and take charge of your own destiny. Congratulations for contacting American Business Brokers Group, you’ve selected the right partner! Now the process begins to help find and acquire the right business for you.
  • STEP 2: All buyers should meet their American Business Brokers Group representative in person, however, if that is not possible due to distance, continuous communication by phone or email can be effective. We begin our process by gathering detailed information about you to establish your financial capabilities, your skills and experiences, and your personal life goals. This information helps us gain your commitment to the process and determine the best types of business to pursue. Once this is completed, we will start your search using American Business Brokers Group’s considerable market basket of resources.
  • STEP 3: You won’t feel comfortable making a decision until you understand what it takes to buy a business. We will explain the process and help you understand the realities of the current marketplace. You will learn how to use online forms, to search the Internet for businesses, to read Business Listing Information sheets, to understand basic valuation concepts, and to review our available opportunities.
  • STEP 4: Now the hard work begins. We will help you search for your business, aid you in signing confidentiality disclosures, get you detailed information on the business, and set up showings with the seller. We will refine your business search and visit opportunities until you decide on a business to purchase. If your search takes longer than a few months, you may need to return to the education step.
  • STEP 5: We will share with you our expertise in deal structure, by helping you draft a contingent offer on a business that you would like to buy. A purchase and sale agreement will be presented to the seller with a deposit of good faith held in escrow to demonstrate your seriousness. After any negotiations, you should be left with an executed contingent purchase agreement to buy a business.
  • STEP 6: This period is where you fully inspect the owner’s representations are accurate. We will coordinate the efforts of your legal and accounting professionals and strive to satisfy all contingencies. If there is financing involved your application must be approved by the lender, proving that you are qualified for repayment of the loan.
  • STEP 7: Final preparations will be made for lease assignments, utility transfers, financing, merchant service accounts, inventory counts and any other last minute preparations to make the transfer as seamless as possible. Your acquisition will usually be completed by an attorney with the signing of several documents and the payment of the balance of the purchase price.
  • STEP 8: Transitional training by the seller may include meetings with employees and clients, technical education, computer updating, and other essential knowledge transfer. We will be available to assist you with any questions or post closing requirements you may have. Remember what you have learned throughout this process, because when the time comes, American Business Brokers Group will still be here to help you sell your business.

Many additional questions may arise during the buying process. Please do not hesitate to have us explain in detail any portion of this process. You will discover that, with American Business Brokers Group’s assistance, you can have a successful experience purchasing and owning your own business.
