February 18, 2007 - “Our economy is nourished by small business,” Malek Jandali, MBA explains. “Being your own boss is what makes this the land of opportunity.”
After years of senior roles in corporate America and a master of business administration (MBA) fom UNC, Jandali decided to pursue his dream of being his own boss and opened an upscale tanning salon with his wife Yasmine. Mr. Jandali later grew the business to multiple locations, and then sold the chain through VR Business Brokers, a business brokerage firm that has sold more than 70,000 businesses since 1979 with roughly 30,000 buyer calls a month.
Jandali’s experience with VR Business Brokers was excellent—the company completed his transaction more quickly and profitably than he expected—so he and his wife decided to help entrepreneurs achieve their goals of buying or selling businesses by opening an Atlanta VR Business Brokers firm in Johns Creek Business Park.
The Atlanta Business Brokerage firm offers the business seller or buyer a level of professionalism not typically available in the Atlanta, Georgia area. Our team of professionals brings decades of experience to each transaction. We back that experience with the resources of the world's strongest network of business intermediaries; state-of-the-art Internet and Intranet resources; extensive in-house valuation databases and links; a strong Atlanta and Georgia network, Mergers & Acquisitions team (VR M&A) and much more. Our professional Atlanta Business Brokers are ready to serve you!
“Buying or selling a business, or going through a merger and acquisition deal, is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in your professional career, and you need to have the ‘street knowledge’ VR’s services offer,” Jandali says.
When business owners think about selling their business, there are normally more questions than answers. The decision to sell is never easy. It is highly personal and takes much thought, stirs emotions and uncovers many questions. “The most frequently asked question by sellers is, ‘What is my business worth?’ Small businesses sell for a multiple of their cash flow. The definition of cash flow with small businesses is EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) plus owner's compensation,” Jandali explains.
“Timing is critical, but is there a wrong time to sell? No,” says Jandali. “The average small business changes hands every five to seven years because of burnout, retirement, illness, partnership disputes and relocation. The biggest misconception is that the owner is selling because something is wrong. People change businesses just like people change jobs. The best time to sell is when your business is doing well,” Jandali says.
VR navigates each step of the way so owners can focus on running the business until the right qualified buyer is found. “Good businesses always sell, but good buyers don’t always buy, so there is no buyer shortage,” states Jandali.
One of the most important things VR offers is confidentiality, which is of utmost importance to business owners. Confidentiality is important in any sale, but especially in a merger and acquisition, says Jandali.
“VR Business Brokers Atlanta and my entire staff focus on the needs of our clients by providing confidential and professional representation to business owners. We have consistently met or exceeded the expectations of business owners by protecting their confidentiality, thoroughly qualifying buyers and properly structuring transactions. The support of the nationwide VR Business Brokers network is invaluable, as is the hard work and dedication of our experienced staff. We are grateful for our past successes and look forward to continued future successes,” Malek Jandali says.
“We’ve handled transactions from nearly every industry regardless of size or sales price. We bridge the gap between sellers and buyers,” Jandali concludes. “Our business is selling businesses!”
Selling your business is one of the most important transactions you'll ever undertake. You owe it to yourself, your family and your employees to approach this sale with the same careful planning and dedication that you put to work in building your business.
That's why your first step should be contacting VR Business Brokers Atlanta.
Here are some of the reasons:
Unmatched Experience. VR has sold more businesses in North America than anyone, more than 65,000 since our founding in 1979. Our staff consists of multiple MBAs, CPAs, and an average of over 17 years experience. We are experts in maximizing the value your business.
Ultimate Exposure. We ensure your business gets the broadest possible, worldwide exposure, far beyond what you could get on your own or anywhere else. To sell your business, we leverage our nationwide network of offices and buyers, the Internet, newspapers, multiple listing services, direct marketing and several proprietary techniques. We know how to package and present your business in a way that resonates with prospective buyers.
Confidentiality. When you sell your business yourself, or through many other brokers, it's impossible to keep private not only the fact that your business is for sale, but also financial records and other sensitive details. This exposure can damage your business, as employees and customers worry about what will happen when the business sells, or unscrupulous individuals use your confidential information for their gain. We have a proven methodology and rigorous procedures in place to help protect your confidentiality.
Peace of Mind. We save you the time and aggravation of finding, qualifying, showing and negotiating with buyers, and let you concentrate on the task of running your business.
Extraordinary Service. Our team of qualified professionals will bring to bear whatever resources are necessary to get your business sold - quickly and at a fair price. We are highly responsive to your needs, and those of potential buyers, because we know that's how businesses get sold.
Fees. The majority of our fees are paid as success fees.
