It usually depends on the desire of the buyer. The larger the price of the transaction the more likely it is that a face to face meeting will take place prior to the closing. Generally most interaction between buyer and seller is via conference call and email communication. The broker will facilitate all such communication.
Acquisitions Direct is totally performance based. We are only paid when we sell your business at the asking price, or at a lower price if you choose to accept it. There are no upfront fees charged for our services.
This depends on the complexity of the business and the industry. Our brokers will only schedule conference calls with qualified buyers.
No, we do not accept all listings. Some brokers will take all listings but strategically Acquisitions Direct will only take quality listings. We do however take distressed listings from time to time where that distressed business appears to have potential to be turned around by the right buyer. Our firm is noted for offering quality businesses which is substantiated by our high close rate.
