We are uniquely qualified to help you maximize the return on the sale of your business, while minimizing the impact on you, your family and your employees.
You put your heart and soul into your business. You sacrificed to build it into what it is today. When it is time to sell you need to engage the services of the best business brokerage firm you can find. Don’t leave money on the table.
–Lee Huff, OVBA President
We specialize in helping qualified buyers find an ideal business.
We help successful business owners find qualified buyers.
Our goal is to provide value! We want our clients to say “Wow! I could not have done this without you!” When clients sign our commission checks, we want them to do it happily, knowing that we earned it by providing value above and beyond what they are paying us.
You have put your heart and soul into your business and sacrificed to build it into what it is today. So, when it comes time to sell, you need to engage the services of the best business transfer specialist.
When buying a business, it is important for us to understand what kind of buyer you are. OVBA quickly assesses what is driving you as a buyer to in order to narrow the focus on which business is right for you.
There is often a big difference between what a business owner thinks their company is worth and what they know they know their company is worth. We have a Certified Machinery and Equipment Appraiser (CMEA) designation so that all the appraisals we provide are certified.
Business valuation is like putting a stick in the mud so that you can look back and see your progress. What is measured gets acted on. Proper valuation of your business can be vital to making good decisions.
