Business Brokers in Connecticut

Selling a business can seem like an enormous undertaking — one that’s so significant that many entrepreneurs will choose to put off selling at an optimal time to avoid the additional work that goes with it. However, working with a professional business broker in Connecticut can facilitate the process to eliminate much of the tedious decision-making that accompanies the procedure.

A Neumann & Associates, LLC offers mergers & acquisition advisory, business brokerage, and professional financial services to Connecticut business owners. Established in 2003, A Neumann & Associates, LLC has maintained an A+ business rating with the Better Business Bureau since the beginning. Focusing on medium and large business sales, valuations, and mergers and acquisitions, this team of professional business brokers, many of whom are business owners themselves, have established a portfolio containing over 5,000 valuations.

To schedule an initial consultation with one of Connecticut’s most established business brokers, call A Neumann & Associates, LLC, and we will outline our processes for you.

Establishing a Price for a Business

To find the best potential buyers for your company, we must know your business’s value in the current market. Therefore, the A Neumann & Associates, LLC analysts will review your financial records to measure cash flow and profitability. These are critical metrics in a company’s valuation. In addition, a valuation report will also consider your business’s standing in the market in which you operate, the competition in your industry, and other factors that can affect your Connecticut company’s value.

Once we’ve established your business’s current fair-market value, we will be able to make recommendations that will enhance the marketability of your business.

How Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Works

One of the methods that financial analysts employ to value businesses is Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Savvy business investors will consider the potential future profits and growth patterns of a company. The value of a business moves in direct proportion with these indices. The stronger they are, the higher the price of the business.

How Comparable Company Analysis Works

In contrast to Discounted Cash Flow Analysis, Comparable Company Analysis examines external forces in your industry and the marketplace, for example it compares your business to deal closings over the past five years. This method does place a dollar value on your business, and it can provide invaluable information concerning similar sales of companies in your industry. While no two companies are exactly alike, these comparisons can help establish a baseline for other companies with similar size and profitability in your industry.

Valuing Businesses after the CoViD-19 Crisis

2020 was an outlier year in many ways. Many business owners and buyers have valid concerns about conducting a significant transaction during this sort of economic turmoil. The truth is that some sectors did quite well during the CoViD-19 pandemic, while others were hit hard. 2021, on the other hand saw the reopening of many types of businesses, increased travel, the return to workplaces, etc. This is in addition to multi-trillion-dollar cash injections by the U.S. government. For this and many other reasons, Connecticut has become a seller’s market for business owners, and opportunities for sellers abound.

Identifying and Negotiating Qualified Buyers for Your Business

Many business brokers maintain a list of buyers while they wait for other brokerages to bring businesses for sale to market. Their objective is to make an easy commission while tying investors to their firms. While A Neumann & Associates does maintain a relationship with many highly qualified investors, our firm primarily represents sellers and businesses who require assistance with mergers & acquisitions. When A Neumann & Associates, LLC represents your business for sale, we will review prospective buyers to ensure that they have the financial wherewithal to acquire your business and make sure that they are a good fit for your particular business. We find that this approach has reduced the occurrence of buyers withdrawing from deals, which is counterproductive and can hurt a company’s marketability. Ultimately, when we represent a seller, they are the client, and we work for their best interests.

Protecting Confidentiality with NDAs

Few factors can adversely impact the price and marketability of a business sale as much as unauthorized information leaks. That’s why the attorneys who represent A Neumann & Associates, LLC have developed substantial non-disclosure agreements to be signed by buyers before any information of a seller is released. Additionally, we will meet with your company’s representatives offsite, and any inspections of your operations will be performed as discreetly as possible. This will help prevent the occurrence of damaging rumors.

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
