Pre-qualification process

A non-disclosure agreement and other financial qualification must be received prior to the disclosure of the business location or other pertinent information about this business.

This is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation to sell securities.

Jerry and Mendy Tippet

“When a buyer is asked to complete a company’s qualification forms, it’s just good common sense to do it if you are at all interested in their client’s business. From what I have seen, there are far more qualified buyers than there are qualified businesses. The qualification forms are a way of getting to the top of list of good prospects quite easily… a great way to put your best foot forward without a lot of effort.

A quality firm like BizAdvocates just wants to know they have a quality prospect whose financial means is in the ball park for a likelihood of a possible transaction. In our case, Joe and Sandy used their experience with other industry professionals to help us buy the company we inquired about initially with better terms than we expected and better tax advantages for the owners which created a win-win for all.”
