Thank you for your interest in the business we have listed. We have put together a short Q&A section for the most frequently asked questions. However, business transfers are – and always will be – a “relationship” business and nothing can substitute a personal meeting. Once you have provided us with the qualification documents we have attached to the email we sent you, we are happy to meet with you to explain the entire transfer in detail.
There is a wealth of information on this site, please feel free to explore all aspects. And once you have obtained a “preliminary feel”, please give us an opportunity to introduce ourselves and answer specific questions relating to your interest and acquisition.
– Achim Neumann
President
 

Important Q&A Section
 

 

Answers
 
Why do I need to provide all this information?
We – as the brokerage firm – have a contract with the seller which requires us to thoroughly qualify any inquiry. This includes information about yourself (profile), financial information (including a bank statement indicating sufficient funds for the down payment), and the executed Confidentiality Agreement. Only once we have receive all forms back, we can talk freely and provide you with the prospectus.Serious buyers are very familiar with these requirements, in particular, if they have owned a business before that they have sold through a brokerage firm.
Can I simply sign the non-disclosure agreement and provide just that?
Having been in business for more than 20 years, we have experienced again and again, that simply signing the confidentiality agreement does not ensure that an individual has sufficient funds for the down payment. Providing information to a buyer that can not afford the purchase of the business is a breach of our contract with the seller and does not serve anybody. Furthermore, introducing such a buyer would be a great waste of time on everybody’s part.
What will happen to the information that I provide?
None of the information that you provide to us will go to the seller. If you prefer, we will be happy to provide a confidentiality agreement to you attesting to this.
If you like the investment after having reviewed the prospectus/ confidential memorandum, and if you desire so, we can provide your financial information to the SBA and obtain a loan pre-approval within a couple hours. However, we will do this ONLY with your explicit approval and NEVER on our own.
If you move forward and make an Offer To Purchase, and such offer is accepted by the seller, then we will provide your information to the seller, in order for the seller to do his due diligence on you – as the seller is extending a note to you, in all likelihood -, similar, as you do your due diligence on the seller by reviewing all his books.
We will destroy your information, by shredder, after six months if there is no further interest in any other business we have listed. Alternatively, we can destroy your information immediately if you request us to do so.
Is the confidentiality of my information secured?
Absolutely! We have been in business for more than 20 years, and our reputation hinges on the fact that we use utmost confidentiality for all parties involved. Our principal, Mr. Neumann, has a stellar record and will ensure that your information will not be provided to anybody.
What information will I receive once I provide all my info?
We will provide you with the prospectus / confidential memorandum, which has the past three year financials, based on the tax returns, as well as a very detailed financial analysis. There are projections for the future, and a post acquisition cash flow analysis. Also, there are 15 pages of operational information. In addition, if a valuation was performed, we will provide a copy of the valuation.
And, we will send you a detailed, step-by-step outline as to how we bring the two parties together.
Can you provide financing for the acquisition of the business?
Yes, we have excellent contacts to lender in all segments. With approximately 1,500 transactions closed each year, we experience significant interest on the banks’ sides to accommodate our clients.
When will I own the business?
Typically, it takes two to three months to close on a transaction. This outline for the buying process might help you.
Once you have reviewed the confidential memorandum and have expressed that you like the deal, we will organize a meeting between yourself and the seller. Upon a successful meeting, we can help you to formulate an Offer To Purchase to be presented to the business owner. And once that offer is accepted, we can help you with the financing, and make some suggestions respective the items for the due diligence.
How can I get more information?

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

“Used A Neumann & Associates to sale my business. could not imagine having done it with out the patience and experience Gary provided. Thanks Gary,”

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.”
