Boston Business Brokers

Selling your business can be a life changing event. It must be handled by professionals committed to realizing a transaction price that recognizes the company’s current value and also compensates the seller for a lifetime of effort dedicated to building that business. Engaging a qualified M&A professional allows the business owner to be more selective in the choice of a buyer because that M&A professional will ultimately provide the seller with multiple offers.
The team at A Neumann & Associates, LLC has maintained an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau for 20 years in a row and boasts a portfolio of more than 5,000 valuations since the firm’s inception in 2003. We work with medium and large businesses through various processes, including valuations, professional financial services, and mergers and acquisitions.
Call A. Neumann & Associates, LLC today to schedule an initial consultation with your professional Mergers & Acquisitions Advisor and business broker and gain a better understanding of how we can work together to navigate this complicated process towards a successful outcome for you.

Understanding the Business Valuation Process

Before entering discussions with potential buyers, it is essential that you have a clear understanding of your company’s market value. At A. Neumann & Associates, LLC we will go through your financial records to gather critical information about cash flow, debts, operating costs. This will help us establish a clear understanding of your company’s profitability and cash flow, key factors that impact your final valuation. After gathering all of this data, we engage the services of an independent, third-party valuation firm to determine the fair market value of your company. This report will take into account a wide range of factors including the markets in which you are active and the nature of your competition.
Once this in-depth analysis is completed and a current valuation is established, we will be able to provide you with a range of recommendations that can help increase the value and appeal of your business before we begin the process of connecting with qualified potential buyers.

Historical Performance

When an investor enters into merger and acquisition talks, one of the most important things they consider is the potential for future profits and growth of the business. A solid business with a strong valuation will have great potential for future profits based on past performance, an established position in the market, and proven processes.. The potential profits that a buyer can anticipate once they acquire your business will play a vital role in the final transfer price.

Post-COVID Business Valuations

2020 a and 2021 were unprecedented and difficult years for many businesses across the world. While many markets were able to sustain or increase profits through this unanticipated shutdown, other markets suffered from uncertainty, decreased consumption, and lack of mobility. Economists are looking to the future of the U.S. economy with confidence, and while the repercussions of COVID-19 will continue to echo through the markets well into the future, business futures are starting to look up. During these difficult times working with an experienced, proven brokerage team through the valuation process will ensure that your business is properly represented.

The Importance of Confidentiality and Discretion Throughout the Sales Process

A Neumann & Associates, LLC understands the importance of confidentiality throughout the entire mergers and acquisitions process, which is why we focus on maintaining relationships with an enormous number of qualified investors.
A Neumann & Associates, LLC focuses on discrete, direct conversations with qualified individuals and teams, maintaining confidentiality through non-disclosure agreements and other legal tools that protect all critical information about your business and therefore protect the ultimate price and success of each transaction.

Vetting Qualified Buyers

One of the most important aspects of a successful business brokerage is identifying and approving only truly qualified potential buyers, thereby protecting a seller’s interests from day one of our relationship.
We review each of our potential buyers’ financials to ensure they have the ability to purchase a company. If a buyer does not qualify, no detailed information will be released.
Furthermore, we will consider the potential buyer’s legal status, such as their ability to operate the business as a foreign national, as well as their plans for the business once the transaction is completed.
Beyond our own requirements for qualified buyers, we will defer to your conditions for the type of buyer with whom you wish to enter sales talks. Regardless of the on-paper qualifications and factors that we deem as essential for our clients, your transaction will be dictated by your own needs and requirements. Your business is a part of your legacy, and this transaction will be guided by you.

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.”

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
