Phoenix-Mesa, AZ (1888PressRelease)
July 14, 2007 - Question - what could a research physicist (who built space satellites and telecommunications systems), and a real estate developer (who built hotels and marinas and a turn-of-the-century steam railroad) possibly have in common? Answer - a passion for small business success.
William Whelpley, Robert Roth, Ph.D. and Sara Whelpley have joined forces as co-owners of the new Arizona Business Center (www.azbizcenter.com). In announcing the opening of the new business, Bill Whelpley stated that “Our goal is to help small business buyers buy the right business, at the right price, and on the right terms. Likewise, we are looking to help business owners develop an exit strategy that maximizes the value of their business prior to selling it.”
“In Arizona, the term ‘Small Business’ is very misleading,” commented Roth. “In fact, in Arizona, small business is a very big deal!” Studies indicate that Arizona’s small businesses account for well over 90% of all employment in the state (one recent study pegs that number at 97%). Small businesses are the economic engine that powers Arizona. On any given day, there may be 3,000 or more businesses offered for sale. And, for every business owner looking to sell, there are on average 20 or more buyers looking to buy.
Sara Whelpley points out that, while small business may be a big deal in Arizona, small business owners seldom capture the big financial rewards that they deserve. “Bill, Bob and I have owned several small businesses and we know how tremendously hard small business owners work. We have first hand experience in taking the financial risks that they take. That is why, as business brokers and consultants, we are passionate about helping them capture the financial rewards they deserve.”
