Business Brokers New York City

Many business owners ask themselves if it is worth it to work with a business brokerage firm when buying or selling their business. According to the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA), COVID has changed the way businesses are bought and sold, and buyers’ concerns have shifted to a focus on corporate cultures that retain key talent. Seller confidence has been low in 2021, and firms are competing for quality opportunities. However, A Neumann & Associates, LLC remains optimistic for the rest of 2021 and the future.
A Neumann & Associates, LLC offers mergers & acquisition advisory, business brokerage, and professional financial services. The professional business advisors at A Neumann & Associates, LLC are ready to assist you in making the process of acquiring or selling a business a successful and profitable venture.

What is the role of a broker in deal making?

A business broker acts as an intermediary between buyers and sellers of businesses. A Neumann & Associates, LLC has been providing business brokerage advice to business owners for over 30 years.
Mergers and Acquisitions

One of the scariest business decisions a firm ever has to make is deciding whether to acquire a different one under its brand or come together with an equal. Business owners turn to A Neumann & Associates, LLC for expertise in providing business valuations when they have to ask themselves, is this a good decision? Is the relationship that will be forged with this other firm going to lead to sustained profits? The Harvard Business Review puts the failure rate of mergers and acquisitions between 70% and 90%, mostly due to mismatching and unwise strategies that don’t take several factors into consideration. When debating whether a merger or acquisition is right, you can’t just look at what each business does; you have to look at several factors. They include the firm’s operations, business model, whether or not the customer will benefit from the acquisition, and what type of technology will be needed or acquired.

We help businesses make critical decisions about mergers and acquisitions by performing expert business valuations so that they are able to have a clearer expectation when heading into negotiations. We help you identify how the merger or acquisition will improve the products or services you offer, lower costs, and boost overall performance. We ensure that you are crystal clear on the valuation process and our findings so you can be confident when you sell your business.

Do you need a license to be a business broker in New York?

There is no such thing as a business broker’s license, but many states will require a real estate license for the sale of real property. Some states even require registration with the state securities commission. However, New York is not one of these states. Although state licensing is not required, we have extremely high standards that our business brokers must meet.

How do I find a good business broker?

Even if a business broker meets the qualifications to assist in the mergers and acquisitions of a business, how can you know if a specific business broker is best for you and your sale? With so many business brokers willing to help you achieve your sales goals, knowing what to look for and what types of questions to ask can help you narrow down who is the best business broker to help you sell your business.

Client Testimonials

“Your vetting is simply outstanding, among the best I've seen from a broker.”

Eric H., Investor

“I recently contacted A. Neumann and Associates about getting a valuation of my business done. I spoke with Marc, who explained the process in detail. After meeting with Marc in order to get a clear understanding of my business, and what I was hoping to accomplish. His patience in answering all my questions and his knowledge of the proper way to market my business gave me great confidence that this is the firm I will be using to sell my business for max value. Working with Marc at A Neumann & Associates was very easy and professional. I did not know all that was going to be involved in selling my business but they helped me through the process. What I thought was going to be a just another one of those pushy sales companies was just the opposite. Polite, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to talk to and deal with. I highly recommend this firm to anybody who wants to sell now or down the road. Marc not only knows his stuff, but actually is a real nice guy.”

Double Diamond

Dennis Frazier

“Working with Marc and his company was a pleasure. What I thought was going to be a just another one of those pushy sales companies was just the opposite. Polite, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to talk to and deal with. Marc handled most of the interaction and he has one of the greatest demeanors. Again, it was a pleasure working with him and his firm.”

Douglas DiCeglio

“I recently completed an acquisition using A Neumann & Associates. Tony Valentino was very helpful and accessible during the entire process. They do a thorough job vetting both parties and got us to the finish line.”

Srini Mudambi

“Claus out of Florida helped us with the sale of our business. We had never done anything like this and him and his team walked us through the process from start to finish. We had some challenges through the process and Claus continued to show up even in the difficult conversations.”

Colby Harris, Co-Owner, Del Mar Designs

“Claus Madsen thoroughly helped us with selling our company. From the 1st introductory meeting explaining to us what was possible, to providing us with resources to assist with the sale. Claus was invaluable throughout the whole sales process. Claus was with us every step of the journey and always made himself available for any questions or issues that came up along the way. If you are interested in selling your business, I encourage you to reach out to Claus and the ANA team so that they can let you know what’s achievable. These guys will make it happen!”

Ron Harris, Co-Owner and Vice President, Del Mar Designs

“A Neumann & Associates is the only business broker I would use or consult with. They have assisted with 3 business sales over the past 15 years with me. They are honest and sincere and have always performed better than my expectations. They are the only one i would use for the sales of my businesses.”

James Belanger, Business Owner

“I wanted to take a second to commend the exemplary customer service from both you [Karin Neumann] and Mr. Valentino. It’s both a rarity in the industry, and very much appreciated.”

Andrew G., Investor

“We worked with Neumann & Associates to investigate the purchase of a research company in 2010 and found Achim to be capable, forthright and realistic. His depth of experience enabled us to fully understand our options, offering creative options that might enable the acquisition. While we didn’t acquire that particular company at that time, we know exactly who to call whenever we’re looking to buy or sell a business.”

Daniel Coates, Buyer
