About us
An honest analysis first. Then your decision.
Vista Business Group was founded in 2009 to give business owners an easy, straightforward way to sell their business. We still work that way: honest and direct.
Who we are
A team with backgrounds in banking, finance and marketing, focused on one thing: selling established businesses. We work with owners and buyers across the country by phone, video and a secure online owner portal, so your documents and questions never travel by email.
Every engagement starts with an honest analysis of your company. We tell you what your business is worth and why, and you decide whether to sell based on that data, not a sales pitch.
A strategy, not just a sale
Most owners we work with aren't selling next month. For them we build a Strategic Value Blueprint, a plan built around their goals and timeline. Sometimes that means raising the value of the business. Sometimes it means getting it ready to sell at a specific time: cleaning up a few things and keeping an eye on the rest. We review the plan with you every six months and revalue the business every twelve months, or sooner if you need it.
When you're ready to sell, you already know what buyers pay for, and the business is ready.
What we focus on
Established businesses large enough to attract serious buyers, in the industries we know best:
- IT & managed services
- Service businesses: HVAC & home services and business services
- Manufacturing
- Staffing & recruiting
We don't sell restaurants, small retail or main-street businesses. Staying in our lane is how we know the buyers, and what they'll pay for.
The team
How long it takes
About six months from signing our engagement agreement to closing, for most sales. Most businesses fit our process well. Some don't, and for those we build a strategic plan specific to the business, which can take longer.
Two things make that timeline possible: owners who are ready to sell at market value, and a team dedicated to finding the right buyers for every business we take to market. See every step →
Our motto
We help business owners make the right decision for themselves, their family, their employees, and their company. Sometimes that means selling now. Sometimes it means building value first.
